Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,430 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 2,430 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,377 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight was conducted in a King Air C90 GTX aircraft, a twin-engine turboprop plane. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 02L at John Wayne Orange County International Airport (KSNA), with a takeoff distance of 2,609 feet, which is 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 106 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles south of Tustin, California, and ascended from an altitude of 1,073 feet above sea level to 1,325 feet above sea level, an increase of 253 feet, in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile southwest of Tustin and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile south of Anaheim, California, and involved a descent from an altitude of 1,294 feet above sea level to 287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,007 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Fullerton Municipal Airport (KFUL) was conducted from the east, with a heading of 257.0° at an altitude of 191 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing took place on runway 24, which has a length of 2,430 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 101 knots.
The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed was 92 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 262°, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind component of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,107 feet, which is 87% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used -3 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The King Air C90 GTX aircraft successfully landed at Fullerton Municipal Airport (KFUL) on runway 24. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 257.0° at an altitude of 191 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a threshold height that was considered good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 101 knots, registering at 92 knots. This was still considered a good touchdown speed, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown point was, however, quite far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available 2,430-foot runway length. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from 262°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the wind conditions, allowing for a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 2,107 feet was 87% of the available runway length, which is a relatively long landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, bringing the aircraft to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 94.1%.
