Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 75 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 1.9° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,553 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,553 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,198 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a SR22 aircraft, departing from runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The takeoff roll began on runway 35, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 78 knots. The takeoff distance was 457 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 11 knots. After departing from the airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and climbing from an altitude of 900 feet above sea level to 743 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and took 2 minutes to complete, resulting in an increase of 156 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 152.0° at an altitude of 703 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing on runway 16 was notable for a touchdown point that was 836 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 74 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -43 feet per minute.
However, the landing was not without some issues. The threshold height at 62 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 115 knots. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 134°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,525 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline. Despite some issues with the landing, the total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a SR22, successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 152.0° at 1 nm and 703 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters.
However, there were some issues with the landing. The threshold height at 62 ft agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 115 kt, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. Despite these issues, the touchdown speed of 74 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -43 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown point was 836 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 12 kt at 134°.
The crosswind component was 7 kt, while the headwind component was 10 kt, which could have affected the aircraft's alignment and touchdown point. The total landing distance was 1,525 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which is a minor deviation from the ideal alignment.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters, including excessive threshold speed, misaligned touchdown point, and slight deviations from the centerline during rollout. These issues highlight the importance of precise control and adherence to standard procedures during landing operations.
