Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 5.3 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 5.3 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

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 8.4° 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.
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 2,186 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,186 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 861 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport took 17 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 35, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 76 knots. The takeoff distance of 499 meters was 15% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short takeoff roll. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 300°, resulting in a crosswind component of 13 knots and a headwind component of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned to an enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 12,011 feet above sea level in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The climb rate was impressive, with an increase of 11,056 feet in a relatively short period. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 22 minutes and covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 11,990 feet to 3,011 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 3 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft descending from 1,509 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, with a touchdown point 421 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was within the target range, and the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute was excellent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.3 meters. The total landing distance was 2,081 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 122 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 48 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 42 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport from the south was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 347.0° at 4 nm and 1,509 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a temperature of 12 °C, with a wind of 6 kt at 240°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 88 kt.
The aircraft touched down 421 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 60 kt, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -72 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 2,081 m, which accounted for 60% of the runway length of 3,474 m.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft was misaligned from the centreline by 16.3 m. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.2%. The slight deviations from the ideal approach and rollout alignment were minor and did not compromise the safety of the operation.
