Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
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 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a journey that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 34 at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 639 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 106 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started from 1,007 feet above sea level and reached 1,225 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile northwest of the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The local weather conditions during the climb were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 170°.
The enroute descent began 1 mile southeast of the Zabrat Airport in Zabrat, Baku City, Azerbaijan. The aircraft descended from 1,223 feet above sea level to 11 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This marked the end of the enroute phase of the flight.
The aircraft then landed on runway 34 at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport, which had a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 94 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 340 meters, but the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 80 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -273 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters.
The local weather conditions during the landing were similar to those during the climb, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 896 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.9 meters.
In conclusion, the flight covered a total distance of 11 nautical miles and used 53 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 7 minutes, and the aircraft performed well in terms of climb and descent, but had some issues with touchdown speed and runway alignment.
The aircraft, a 340 passenger plane, successfully landed on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport with a score of 92.8%. The runway, measuring 4,001 meters in length, provided ample space for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to safely clear the runway's beginning.
However, there were some areas of concern during the landing. The threshold speed of 94 knots was excessively high, suggesting that the pilot may have been pushing the aircraft to land as quickly as possible. This could be a result of various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the wind conditions, or the pilot's personal preference. The touchdown distance of 340 meters was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touch down at a reasonable distance from the runway's end.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 80 knots was excessively fast. This could put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers. The touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute was fair, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent, but could have done better in terms of smoothness.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's safety and the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 170 degrees, were not particularly challenging. However, the crosswind of 1 knot and the tailwind of 10 knots may have contributed to the slightly misaligned touchdown.
The total landing distance of 896 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's safety and the overall landing performance. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas of concern that the pilot and the aircraft's crew should address to improve the landing performance.
