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 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,520 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 192 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight was conducted in a SR22 aircraft, which taxied from the parking area to the runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 07 at 1A5 Macon County, with a takeoff distance of 233 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 221 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a 1-knot tailwind. The pilot entered the left-hand pattern from runway 07, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 20 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The pilot then proceeded to the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile and had an angle to the runway of 45 degrees, with a heading of 77.0 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 111 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was also 3 nautical miles long and had an angle to the runway of 45 degrees, with a heading of 10.9 degrees.
The final approach to runway 07 was made from the west, with a heading of 77.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,110 feet above ground level. The landing was conducted on runway 07 at 1A5 Macon County, which had a length of 1,520 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 71 knots.
The touchdown distance was good, with a distance of 190 meters. The touchdown speed was 65 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -124 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 224 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a 3-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 566 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, which was completed in 8 minutes, and the aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at 1A5 Macon County, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 77.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,110 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evidenced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was impressive, with a touchdown speed of 65 knots, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 190 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made the necessary adjustments to ensure a smooth landing. The touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and experience.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 224°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, who was able to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
The total landing distance of 566 meters, which accounts for 37% of the runway length, is a testament to the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made the necessary adjustments to ensure a safe and stable landing.
Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the pilot, with a score of 98.9%. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, despite the presence of a tailwind, is a credit to their training and experience.
