Improve the 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: 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,871 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 149 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 13 at KFHB Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport, with a takeoff distance of 401 meters, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 528 feet above sea level to 4,245 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,718 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent 5 miles south of KFHB Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport, descending from 4,248 feet above sea level to 3,102 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,145 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south-east of KNRB Naval Station Mayport / Admiral David L McDonald Field Jacksonville, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent 1 mile north-east of Sawgrass, descending from 2,519 feet above sea level to 1,402 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,117 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. It then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles east of Nocatee, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 4 miles south-east of Nocatee, with the aircraft descending from 1,020 feet above sea level to 567 feet above sea level, a decrease of 453 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 13 at KSGJ Northeast Florida Regional Airport, coming in from the west at a heading of 96.0°, at an altitude of 550 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 66 knots and a touchdown distance of 146 meters. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 0°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 430 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 29.4 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 41 nautical miles, taking 24 minutes, and the aircraft used 17 kilograms of fuel.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at KSGJ Northeast Florida Regional Airport, achieving an overall score of 82.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 96.0° at 1 nm and 550 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 13, which has a length of 1,871 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 71 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 146 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 66 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, and the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
Despite the satisfactory performance in terms of speed and distance, there were some issues with the alignment of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 29.4 meters from the centerline. These misalignments may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown rate. The pilot's performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft's performance was good, but there are some areas that need attention to achieve a higher score.
