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: 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 1,219 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 315 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted in a SR22 aircraft. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KMKY Marco Island Executive Airport took 14 minutes, a relatively short duration of less than 1 nautical mile.
With a strong headwind of 3 knots and a gentle crosswind of 2 knots, the aircraft began its departure roll on runway 35 at KMKY. The takeoff distance was 309 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. A liftoff speed of 82 knots was achieved, indicating a smooth takeoff process.
As the aircraft took off, it started its climb from 719 feet above sea level to 1,542 feet, increasing its altitude by 823 feet in 1 minute while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of the enroute climb segment.
The aircraft then entered level cruise mode 1 mile south of KMKY, cruising at this altitude for 6 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The next enroute climb segment started 12 miles north of Everglades City, where the aircraft climbed from 1,841 feet to 7,272 feet, increasing its altitude by 5,432 feet in 5 minutes while covering 12 nautical miles.
The second level cruise segment started 4 miles west of FA80 Lost Horn Ranch Airport and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. This period of level flight was followed by another descent from 7,182 feet to 5,166 feet, a reduction of 2,016 feet, in 2 minutes while covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered level cruise mode again 5 miles south east of KTNT Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport, cruising at this altitude for 3 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. Subsequent enroute descent segments were observed starting 12 miles north west of FL31 Mjd STOLport, where the aircraft descended from 4,629 feet to 1,047 feet, a reduction of 3,582 feet, in 3 minutes while covering 9 nautical miles, and another starting 1 mile west of Country Walk, where the aircraft descended from 1,022 feet to 109 feet, a reduction of 913 feet, in 2 minutes while covering 1 nautical mile.
After multiple phases of climb and descent, the aircraft arrived at its final approach position, heading towards runway 31 at KTMB Miami Executive Airport from the south east. At 0 nautical miles and 102 feet above ground level, the aircraft lined up for landing.
Upon landing on runway 31, the aircraft achieved an acceptable threshold speed of 74 knots, slightly below the target value. The touchdown distance was good, with a total distance covered of 314 meters. The touchdown speed and rate were perfect at 68 knots and -43 fpm, respectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.1 meters. Local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with winds blowing at 9 knots from 338 degrees, a crosswind of 5 knots, and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 624 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was excellent. Finally, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 59 minutes, with the flight distance totaling 79 nautical miles and fuel consumption totaling 0 kilograms.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed on runway 31 at KTMB Miami Executive Airport with an impressive score of 96.0%. The final approach to the runway was made from the south east, aligning with the heading of 308.0° at an altitude of 0 nm (essentially at ground level) and 102 feet above ground level.
As the SR22 touched down, it landed on the runway with a respectable threshold height, demonstrating precision and control in the approach. However, it fell just short of the target threshold speed, coming in at 74 kt, slightly below the desired level. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown distance proved to be satisfactory, measuring 314 meters.
Another key aspect of the landing was the touchdown speed, which registered a satisfactory 68 kt, highlighting the pilot's ability to maintain a smooth and controlled descent. This was complemented by an exceptional touchdown rate of -43 ft/min, showcasing the pilot's mastery of controlling the aircraft's descent.
One area for improvement during the landing was found in the runway touchdown position, where the aircraft deviated by 4.1 meters from the centerline. Despite this minor issue, the local weather conditions provided favorable conditions for the landing with a temperature of 23°C and a moderate headwind of 8 kt. The crosswind was relatively light at 5 kt, while the wind speed was only 9 kt at 338°.
The successful landing culminated with a total landing distance of 624 meters, representing 51% of the runway length. This impressive achievement demonstrates the pilot's skill and proficiency in landing the SR22. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was found to be very good, highlighting the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and finesse, resulting in a respectable score of 96.0%.
