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 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 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 423 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 34 at Gabala International Airport (UBBQ). The SR22 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 150 meters, which accounted for only 4% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 83 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft entered the local weather conditions, it was clear that the temperature was a chilly 4 degrees Celsius, while the wind was blowing at a gentle 3 knots from a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern entry from runway 34, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in just 12 seconds.
The left-hand pattern crosswind was slightly more challenging, requiring the pilot to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile while maintaining an angle of 94.5 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long, taking 61 seconds to complete.
As the aircraft approached the base leg turn, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile while maintaining an angle of 9.8 degrees to the runway. The final approach to runway 34 was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 347.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 267 feet above ground level.
The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 67 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 422 meters, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -78 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.3 meters.
The total landing distance was 702 meters, which accounted for only 20% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at UBBQ Gabala International Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 347.0° at 1 nautical mile and 267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 3,474 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 75 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 422 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 67 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -78 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 7.3 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component, which was 3 knots from the left. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 70°.
The total landing distance was 702 meters, which is approximately 20% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed, distance, and rate. However, the slight deviation in the touchdown position and the slightly below-target threshold speed are areas for improvement.
