Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Add power on approach to bring the speed up to 88 kt before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: The approach was already slow at the stabilisation gate, and a slow gate like that usually carries through to a slow threshold crossing - here 77 kt against the 88 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 88 kt on approach, carrying through to 88 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.2° off, against a 1° limit and speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 88 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,980 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,980 m of the 3,275 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 451 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Zabrat Airport (UBZA), the SR22 aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 16, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 82 kt. The takeoff distance of 388 meters accounted for 46% of the runway length, demonstrating a relatively efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from Zabrat Airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 536 feet above sea level to 700 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent towards Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB), aligning itself with runway 17 from a heading of 184.0° at an altitude of 656 feet above ground level, approximately 2 nautical miles from the threshold.
Upon reaching the runway, the SR22 aircraft executed a smooth landing, touching down at a speed of 67 kt and a touchdown rate of -65 fpm, which was considered excellent. The touchdown distance of 448 meters was also within acceptable limits, accounting for 14% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 14 nautical miles was completed in 11 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 7 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 184.0° at 2 nm and 656 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 77 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 67 kt, with a touchdown distance of 448 m, which was within the expected parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown rate of -65 fpm, indicating a controlled and gentle descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 4 kt at 160°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 2,876 m was 88% of the runway length, indicating a well-executed landing. Overall, the landing was scored 93.9%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot. The combination of good approach quality, smooth touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a safe and efficient landing.
