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: 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 841 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 841 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 168 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 16 at Zabrat Airport (UBZA), where the aircraft, an SR22, successfully took off after covering a distance of 63 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 79 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
Following the departure, the aircraft entered a level cruise at an altitude of 1 mile north-east of Ramana, a suburb of Baku City, Azerbaijan. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34 at UBZA Zabrat Airport, heading in a southerly direction at an altitude of 102 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 34, which had a length of 841 meters. The threshold height was reported to be good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 74 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, covering a distance of 166 meters. The touchdown speed was recorded at 69 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.6 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 519 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centreline by 16.6 meters.
In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 4 nautical miles, taking 3 minutes to cover this distance. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at UBZA Zabrat Airport, with a final approach from the south. The aircraft was at an altitude of 102 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The pilot maintained a heading of 346.0°, which is aligned with the runway 34 at the airport.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 69 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 166 meters. The pilot managed to maintain a smooth touchdown rate of -121 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 74 knots, which may indicate a slightly delayed touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 12°C and wind speeds of 16 knots from 200°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 13 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase. The total landing distance was 519 meters, which is 62% of the runway length.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was again slightly off, with a misalignment of 16.6 meters from the centerline. This may indicate some issues with the pilot's control inputs or the aircraft's response to the wind conditions. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor areas for improvement.
