The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at L88 New Cuyama, where the aircraft, an SR22, took off with a takeoff distance of 610 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 0 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 10 at L88 New Cuyama, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 35 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds, demonstrating the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 38.2 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 55 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 48.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds, and the final turn was made in less than 1 nautical mile in 8 seconds. The final approach to runway 10 at L88 New Cuyama was made from the west, with a heading of 106.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 269 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 10 at L88 New Cuyama was made with a runway length of 1,193 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed at 0 knots was well below the target, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, and the touchdown speed at 0 knots was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -204 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 23 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a negligible headwind. The total landing distance was 938 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centreline.

The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight took 7 minutes to complete, using 0 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled takeoff, a series of precise and agile pattern turns, and a good landing, although with some minor deviations from the target.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a SR22, successfully landed at L88 New Cuyama, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 106.0° at 1 nm and 269 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 1,193 meters.

However, there were some issues with the landing. The threshold height at 58 ft agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly high on their approach. Additionally, the threshold speed at 0 kt was well below the target, which is a concern as it increases the risk of stalling. The pilot will need to be mindful of this and ensure they maintain a safe airspeed during the approach.

The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively, or that they may have been slightly high on their approach. The touchdown speed at 0 kt was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touch down at a safe speed. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -204 fpm, which is slightly higher than ideal.

The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 4 kt at 23°. There was no crosswind or headwind to contend with.

The total landing distance was 938 meters, which is 79% of the available runway. This is a relatively long landing distance, and the pilot may need to work on their flare technique to reduce the distance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's rollout path.

Overall, while the pilot successfully landed the aircraft, there are some areas for improvement. With some practice and attention to detail, the pilot should be able to refine their technique and achieve a more efficient and controlled landing.
