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.

Side view — the last 880 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 880 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 241 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 26 at KCMA Camarillo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 316 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 83 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 229°. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of KCMA Camarillo International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,066 feet above sea level to 5,442 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,376 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of KOXR Oxnard Airport and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 5 miles southwest of Huntington Beach, descending from 5,502 feet above sea level to 907 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,595 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20L at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 209.0° at 2 nautical miles and 600 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 20L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 239 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 65 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 229°. There was no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 750 meters, which accounted for 85% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 92 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 51 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed on runway 20L at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport, achieving a high score of 89.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 209.0° at 2 nautical miles and 600 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 73 knots, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 239 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 65 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for a safe landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 229°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 7.7 meters off the centerline. This is a minor issue, but it could be improved upon in future landings. The total landing distance of 750 meters was 85% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the aircraft's performance.
Overall, the SR22 aircraft demonstrated excellent landing skills, and the pilot's performance was commendable. With some minor adjustments to the rollout alignment, the pilot can achieve an even higher score in future landings.
