Improve the pattern crosswind leg
Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 375 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 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, where the DA-50 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 64 meters, which is 2% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 76 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 15°C with a wind speed of 16 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 16, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 20 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The pattern downwind leg was 2 nautical miles long and took 54 seconds to complete. The pattern base leg turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees, with a turn angle of 7.6 degrees.
The final approach to runway 16 was made from the north, with a heading of 166.0° at 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 276 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 73 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 366 meters, and the touchdown speed was 70 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14°C with a wind speed of 16 knots at 150°, resulting in a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 492 meters, which is 12% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, which was covered in 4 minutes, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The DA-50 aircraft successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 166.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 4,001 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 73 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 366 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 70 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The aircraft's descent rate was smooth, with a rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) at touchdown. This suggests that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled approach, avoiding any sudden or excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 150°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 15 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, demonstrating good control and adaptability.
The total landing distance of 492 meters was only 12% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the DA-50 aircraft's landing at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was a successful and well-executed operation, with a high score of 98.1% reflecting the pilot's skill and expertise.
