Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Add power on approach to bring the speed up to 84 kt before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: The approach was already slow at the stabilisation gate, and a slow gate like that usually carries through to a slow threshold crossing - here 70 kt against the 84 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 84 kt on approach, carrying through to 84 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.8° off, against a 1° limit and speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 84 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 840 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 840 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 133 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB), the SR22 aircraft initiated its takeoff roll on runway 16, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 75 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold in 918 meters, utilizing 23% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 20 °C, with a 10 kt headwind and a crosswind of 2 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it began its climb overhead Yeni Suraxani, a suburb of Baku City, Azerbaijan. The climb profile was characterized by a rapid ascent of 35 ft in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nm. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 1,003 ft asl for 3 minutes while covering 8 nm. The descent phase commenced overhead Mastaga, with the aircraft losing 599 ft in altitude over a 2-minute period, covering 3 nm. The final approach to runway 16 at Zabrat Airport (UBZA) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 164.0° at 1 nm and 364 ft above ground level.
The SR22 touched down on runway 16 at UBZA, utilizing 131 meters of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 64 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -40 fpm was optimal. The runway touchdown alignment was precise, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance of 526 meters represented 63% of the available runway length. The aircraft utilized 6 kg of fuel for the 17 nm flight, which lasted approximately 8 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 16 at UBZA Zabrat Airport with a satisfactory threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 70 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 131 m was good, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 64 kt was also within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -40 fpm was perfect, signifying a controlled descent.
The aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment, ensuring a stable and even touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a 10 kt headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind component of 3 kt was minimal, and the aircraft's handling characteristics allowed for a stable approach and touchdown. The total landing distance of 526 m, which accounted for 63% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was characterized by perfect alignment with the runway centreline, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. The overall landing performance was excellent, with a score of 99.4% reflecting the high level of proficiency displayed. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a safe and efficient landing.
