Slow down before tight turns
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,896 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 11 at LTCG Trabzon International Airport in Trabzon, Turkey. The takeoff distance was 381 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 84 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of the airport and reaching an altitude of 10,395 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles north of Arakli, Turkey, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 5 miles northwest of Khulo, Georgia, and reaching an altitude of 22,766 feet above sea level in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Akhaltsikhe, Georgia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began a descent, starting 4 miles northeast of Asp'indza, Georgia, and descending from 22,771 feet above sea level to 10,541 feet above sea level in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles east of Ts'alk'a, Georgia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 8 miles northwest of Bolnisi, Georgia, and descending from 10,564 feet above sea level to 9,583 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles north of Bolnisi, Georgia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began another descent, starting 6 miles northeast of Bolnisi, Georgia, and descending from 9,573 feet above sea level to 4,684 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles west of Gardabani, Georgia, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 3 miles southeast of UG27 Vaziani Air Base, Tbilisi, Georgia, and descending from 3,727 feet above sea level to 2,798 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31L at UGGG Lochini was made from the southeast, with a heading of 317.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,169 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31L, which had a length of 2,896 meters, was successful, with a touchdown distance of 485 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 78 knots, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -24 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 42 knots at 300 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the headwind was 41 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed on runway 31L at UGGG Lochini, achieving a score of 90.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,169 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,896 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 88 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more aggressively, resulting in a slightly longer touchdown distance. However, the actual touchdown distance of 485 meters was considered good.
The touchdown speed of 78 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher rate of descent. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was perfect at -24 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 42 knots from 300°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 41 knots.
The total landing distance of 703 meters was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.7 meters, indicating that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor issues with speed and alignment that may be addressed in future training or practice.
