Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,356 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,356 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 381 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06 at Greenwood Lake Airport (4N1) in New Jersey, United States. The takeoff distance was 396 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 83 knots, and with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle breeze of 2 knots at 358 degrees, the conditions were favorable for takeoff.
Following the departure from Greenwood Lake, the aircraft entered a climb from an initial altitude of 1,437 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 4,017 feet, an increase of 2,580 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The climb proceeded smoothly, taking advantage of the optimal wind conditions that were providing a headwind of 2 knots.
Once the climb was complete, the aircraft leveled off to cruise altitude, passing overhead West Milford (New Jersey), before descending to a lower altitude of 3,496 feet, a decrease of 525 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The descent was initiated from a point 1 mile south west of Sloatsburg (New York, United States).
The level cruise then resumed, this time lasting for 27 minutes and covering a distance of 78 nautical miles as the aircraft passed overhead Montebello (New York, United States). Following this period of steady cruising, another descent was commenced from 4 miles south of Saybrook Manor (Connecticut, United States), this time decreasing to an altitude of 1,965 feet, a decrease of 994 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The level cruise then continued for a further 38 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles, as the aircraft cruised from a point 4 miles north of Rose Field Orient (New York, United States).
In preparation for landing, the aircraft commenced a final approach to runway 33 at Nantucket Memorial Airport (KACK), which was located to the south-east. The heading was set at 311 degrees, at a distance of 2 nautical miles from the airport and at an altitude of 507 feet above ground level.
Landing on runway 33, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 62 knots, with a good touchdown distance of 379 meters and an excellent touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute. Although the touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 73 knots, the landing was still considered safe and well-executed.
The total landing distance covered was 824 meters, accounting for 61% of the runway length. The aircraft's rollout alignment was found to be very good, demonstrating precise control during the landing phase. After the aircraft came to a stop, the pilot taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes.
In total, the flight spanned 197 nautical miles, lasting 80 minutes and consuming 69 kilograms of fuel. The pilots' careful planning and precise execution resulted in a safe and efficient journey from Greenwood Lake to Nantucket Memorial Airport.
Aircraft SR22 has successfully landed at KACK Nantucket Memorial Airport with an impressive score of 95.0%. During the final approach, the pilot was coming in from the southeast, heading 311.0°, at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 507 feet above ground level (agl). The run was completed on runway 33, which is 1,356 meters in length.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the appropriate height for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 73 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have slowed down slightly too early or that the aircraft's airspeed was not optimized for the landing configuration. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 379 meters was considered good.
The touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits, showing that the pilot had managed to control the aircraft's airspeed and configure it for a smooth landing. The most impressive aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered excellent. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the descent of the aircraft, touching down smoothly and efficiently.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.2 meters off-centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 22°C, with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the landing.
The total landing distance of 824 meters is less than the runway length, accounting for only 61% of it. Runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, this is an excellent landing performance, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control in handling the SR22 aircraft.
