Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nosewheel on and wait for the speed to reach 130 kt before rotating.
What happened: You rotated early, lifting off at 107 kt against a target of 130 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 130 kt before you rotate.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 50 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 50 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 50 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,690 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,690 m of the 4,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 586 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 107 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 42,341 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 102 nautical miles and took 18 minutes to complete.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 142 nautical miles. This phase took place 33 miles east of Neftcala, Azerbaijan. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 16 miles south of Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, Iran. The descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 42,579 feet to 4,644 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles in the process. This phase took 25 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 29R at OIIE Imam Khomeini International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 289.0° at an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 4,190 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 102 knots.
The touchdown point was 154 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 88 knots and a touchdown rate of -36 feet per minute, which was considered perfect. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 120°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,674 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 395 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 73 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 629 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at OIIE Imam Khomeini International Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach to runway 29R was conducted from the east, heading 289.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, registering at 102 knots. The touchdown point was located 154 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 88 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -36 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which may require attention to ensure accurate alignment during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,674 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure accurate alignment during future landings.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a satisfactory score of 94.5%. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining accurate alignment during the landing and rollout phases.
