Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 126 kt with 6.5° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 199 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 960 m of runway left.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.
Plan view the roll down the 3,292 m runway.
Rolled from 1,677 m in, drifted 12 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 8 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 65 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Left-hand, 1,000 ft circuit height. The plan shows your circuit over a textbook one for this runway; the profile unrolls the same path from liftoff to the threshold.
Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 2.2 nm out at 222 kt
The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.
Around the circuit height and bank; the turns are shaded
The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.
Good: full marks on the turn and the leg after it.
Steep: 42° of bank.
Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.
Read more in Pattern WorkLate: turned base with the threshold 3° behind, against 45°.
The stopwatch. From abeam the threshold, fly roughly 30 to 45 seconds before turning base, in nil wind at 172 speeds. Treat that as a starting value and calibrate it. If your finals keep coming out at 400 ft instead of 500, add a few seconds. Then adjust for wind, roughly a second per knot of headwind on final (a headwind on final is a tailwind on downwind, carrying you further from the field per second).
Read more in Pattern WorkOne stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five 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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 34 kt above the approach speed of 114 kt.
Still turning onto final at the lower gate, so the centreline and wings level are not asked there - the aeroplane was not lined up yet, and was banked because it was turning. The other checks are marked as usual.
The approach, gate by gate
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 15 at UBBL Lankaran International Airport, where the Honda HA420 aircraft took off after covering a distance of 2,153 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 126 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots blowing from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 15, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 55 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in just 10 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 47.8 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 5 nautical miles in 72 seconds.
The pattern base leg turn was completed over a distance of 3 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 3.0 degrees. The final approach to runway 15 was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading at 136.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 962 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with the aircraft utilizing the full length of the 3,292-meter runway. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 160 knots.
The total flight distance covered was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 50 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
