Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,215 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,215 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 108 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the SR22 aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KGDK Greene Co Jackson Regl, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 274 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 82 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KGDK Greene Co Jackson Regl Dayton, where the aircraft ascended from 1,890 feet above sea level to 3,020 feet, an increase of 1,130 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of KGDK Greene Co Jackson Regl Dayton and lasted for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles west of KUYF Madison County Airport London, where the aircraft descended from 2,985 feet to 1,216 feet, a decrease of 1,769 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at KUYF Madison County Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 267.0 degrees at an altitude of 124 feet above ground level and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 27, which had a length of 1,215 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 67 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 106 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -28 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 33 nautical miles and took 19 minutes to complete, using 15 kilograms of fuel.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at KUYF Madison County Airport, achieving a high score of 97.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, aligning with the runway 27 heading of 267.0°. At the point of initiation, the aircraft was at 0 nm and 124 ft above ground level (agl), indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a distance of 106 m, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 62 kt was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -28 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25 °C and a relatively light wind of 11 kt at 219°. The crosswind component was 8 kt, while the headwind component was 7 kt, which is relatively minor and did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
The threshold speed was a little below the target speed of 67 kt, but this is not considered a significant deviation. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft coming to rest on the runway with minimal disturbance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the precision and control demonstrated during the final approach and landing phases.
