Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 88 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 05R, the Cirrus SR22 accelerated through a take-off distance of 420 m, representing 13 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 85 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 180° at 6 kt, a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
The approach phase began with a right-hand pattern entry from runway 05R, a distance of less than 1 nm completed in 22 seconds, followed by a right-hand cross-wind segment of 1 nm in 41 seconds. The downwind turn covered 2 nm at an angle of 111.1° to the runway, after which the downwind leg extended 4 nm in 117 seconds. The base-leg turn spanned 4 nm with a 31.8° angle to the runway, and the base leg itself was 1 nm in 41 seconds. The final turn added another 2 nm in 75 seconds, and the final approach was established from the west on a heading of 72.0° at 2 nm and 836 ft AGL.
Landing was executed on runway 05R, whose total length is 3 284 m. The threshold height of 56 ft AGL was slightly above target, while the threshold speed of 80 kt was within expectations. Touchdown occurred 49 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 72 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 205 fpm and a lateral offset of 3.7 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 13 °C with a wind from 38° at 9 kt, providing a 5 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind component.
The rollout distance measured 1 330 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was excessively misaligned by 88.1 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 3 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 13 nm, required 9 minutes of flight time, and consumed 6 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 72.0 ° at 2 nm and 836 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the prevailing weather was 13 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 38 °, comprising a 5 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft passed the threshold at a height of 56 ft agl, which was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was recorded as a good 80 kt.
Touchdown occurred 49 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a good speed of 72 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was fair at minus 205 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,330 m, representing 41 % of the 3,284 m runway, but runway-rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 88.1 m from the centreline.
Maintain precise directional control during rollout to keep the aircraft aligned with the centreline, reducing the large 88.1 m deviation observed. Apply appropriate rudder corrections after touchdown while monitoring speed and remaining runway to ensure a straight and safe exit.
