Landing on runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 84.42 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, scoring an overall grade of 84.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 168.0° at 1 nautical mile and 401 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and speed of 126 knots at the threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 616 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 98 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -116 feet per minute (fpm). However, there were some minor issues with the landing, as the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 10°C and wind blowing at 16 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,315 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and smooth execution of the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of aligning the aircraft with the centerline during the rollout phase.
