Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.

Plan view — the full 827 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 72 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took place in a SR22 aircraft, departing from runway 28 at KCDW Essex County Airport. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll from runway 28 was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 56 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 79 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 37 seconds, also covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was a 45-degree angle to the runway, with a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself took 79 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The pattern base leg turn was another 45-degree angle to the runway, with a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself was completed in 63 seconds, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final turn to align with the runway was completed in 35 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 28 was made from the east, at a heading of 264.0 degrees, and at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 478 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 73 knots. The touchdown speed was 71 knots, which was good, and the touchdown distance was 70 meters, also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -292 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 172 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway length. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took another 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight used 5 kilograms of fuel, taking a total of 11 minutes to complete.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at KCDW Essex County Airport, achieving a high score of 93.3%. The final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 264.0° at 1 nm and 478 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady course and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 71 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 73 kt. However, this was not a significant deviation, and the touchdown speed was still considered good. The touchdown distance of 70 m was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and landing.
The touchdown rate of -292 fpm was fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal. However, this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a precise course and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing performance. The total landing distance of 172 m was only 21% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled landing.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and align it with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
