MY FS FLIGHTS
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
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 7 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 7.9 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,305 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 483 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, located in Romania, served as the departure point for this flight. The SR22 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff distance of 367 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off from runway 07 at a liftoff speed of 82 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to 12,011 feet above sea level, it covered a distance of 24 nautical miles in 10 minutes, demonstrating a steady ascent. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 9 minutes and covered 99 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 11,994 feet to 17,433 feet, in just 5 minutes and 18 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple level cruise phases and descents, with the aircraft eventually descending to 7,997 feet above sea level over Cojocna, Romania. The final descent phase took place over Poznachowice Gorne, Poland, where the aircraft descended to 5,521 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes and 10 nautical miles.
The SR22 aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25 at Kraków John Paul II International Airport, Poland. With a threshold speed of 82 knots and a touchdown speed of 66 knots, the aircraft landed safely on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 482 meters. The total landing distance was 1,266 meters, accounting for 55% of the runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 470 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 138 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted 105 minutes.
The final approach to runway 25 at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 258.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,331 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 82 knots, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 66 knots, which was also within the desired parameters, and the touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute was exceptional, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance from the centreline was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters, but this deviation was minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance. The total landing distance of 1,266 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a 5-knot headwind, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The rollout phase was also executed well, with the aircraft maintaining a speed that allowed for a controlled deceleration. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing performance was excellent, with a score of 96.8%, reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
