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 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 679 m past the threshold — beyond 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 13R at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport. The takeoff distance was 544 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 80 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots blowing from 309°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of UGTB Tbilisi International Airport. The climb took 6 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,404 feet above sea level to 9,631 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north east of Gardabani. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles north of Qaraxanli. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 9,417 feet above sea level to 6,713 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles north of UG11 Dollyar Air Base. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 204 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 18 miles south of Zyrya. The descent took 9 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 6,689 feet above sea level to 1,927 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Hovsan. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, flying from the south at a heading of 347.0° and at an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 34, which had a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 86 knots. The touchdown point was 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 64 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -63 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 828 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 291 nautical miles, and the flight took 68 minutes, using 91 kilograms of fuel.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.3%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 347.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 86 kt. The touchdown point was located 237 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The touchdown speed of 64 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 19 kt blowing from 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 17 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 828 meters was 21% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft despite the challenging weather conditions. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment during the rollout phase.
