Flight Score
Departure
Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 617 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,227 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 617 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35, the Cirrus SR22 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 199 m, representing 6 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 59 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 19 kt from 330°, providing a 17 kt headwind and a 9 kt cross-wind component.
A right-hand pattern entry was flown from runway 35, traversing 1 nm in 23 seconds.
The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg covered less than 1 nm in 7 seconds.
The pattern downwind turn was executed over a distance of 1 nm, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 67.8° to the runway heading.
The downwind leg extended 5 nm and was completed in 94 seconds.
During the base turn, the aircraft flew 4 nm while turning to an angle of 26.9° relative to the runway.
The base leg was less than 1 nm long and lasted 22 seconds.
The final turn to align with the runway was less than 1 nm and required 30 seconds.
A controlled descent reduced altitude from 1,062 ft agl to 154 ft agl in 174 seconds.
The final approach to runway 35 was flown with stabilisation gates scored, under weather of 20 °C, wind 20 kt from 330°, a 10 kt cross-wind and a 17 kt head-wind component.
Landing was achieved on runway 35, whose total length is 3,227 m. The threshold height at 56 ft agl and the threshold speed of 89 kt were slightly above target. Touchdown occurred 172 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 61 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 88 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
Rollout distance measured 804 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was very good.
In total, the flight covered 14 nm, required 9 minutes, and consumed 5 kg of fuel.
