Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
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 307 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31L at UGGG Lochini, where the SR22 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 291 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 76 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 31L, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in just 7 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was also completed in a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile, but this time it took 23 seconds to cover. The pattern downwind turn was a 45-degree angle to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile covered. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 65 seconds to complete.
The base leg of the pattern was another short distance of less than 1 nautical mile, covered in 27 seconds. The final approach to runway 31L was made from the southeast, with a heading of 315 degrees and an altitude of 84 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 307 meters and a touchdown speed of 68 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight took 3 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at UGGG Lochini, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 315.0° at an altitude of 84 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on runway 31L, which has a length of 2,896 meters.
The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, achieving a good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed was maintained at 80 knots, which is an optimal speed for landing. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 307 meters. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 68 knots was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
One minor deviation from the ideal landing was observed, as the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. However, this deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a moderate headwind of 11 knots. The wind direction was from 300°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind component of 11 knots.
The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and maintain control during the landing was evident in the perfect touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a smooth and controlled touchdown, with minimal impact on the aircraft's landing gear. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
