MY FS FLIGHTS
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
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 319 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 287 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 6.0° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 11.8° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,557 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 336 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB) in Baku, Azerbaijan, the SR22 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. With a local temperature of 17 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 17, utilizing 81% of the 2,654-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 86 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to 10,011 feet above sea level, it traversed a distance of 17 nautical miles in 8 minutes, demonstrating a notable rate of climb. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 3 miles south-east of Badamdar, Baku City, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 187 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a series of climbs and descents, adjusting its altitude to optimize fuel efficiency and navigate through the terrain. Notably, the climb from 9,992 feet to 11,125 feet in 2 minutes and 14 nautical miles showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
The final approach to runway 31L at Tbilisi International Airport (UGTB) was executed from the south-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,231 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 329 meters and a touchdown speed of 62 kt. The aircraft utilized 42% of the 2,998-meter runway, with a total landing distance of 1,244 meters. Following a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 274 nautical miles and consuming 84 kg of fuel in the process, which took 61 minutes.
The final approach to runway 31L at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 317.0° at 4 nm and 1,231 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 73 kt. This demonstrated a high degree of control and situational awareness on the part of the pilot.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 329 m, and the touchdown speed of 62 kt was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -38 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a wind of 11 kt at 310°, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,244 m, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a straight course down the runway. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 98.2%.
