Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.5° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 4.4 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 4.4 ft, but 129 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
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.
Touched down 517 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The Cessna CJ4 Citation took off with a takeoff distance of 393 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 123 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 23 knots, which significantly aided the aircraft's climb. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,301 feet above sea level to 2,388 feet, an increase of 1,087 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase was initiated 1 mile north of Biny Selo, a location within Baku City, Azerbaijan.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, it was heading in a northerly direction at an altitude of 787 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions remained relatively consistent, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 170°.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly too high at 110 knots. The touchdown point was 83 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 953 meters, which is 24% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes, during which the aircraft used 70 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 166.0° at 2 nautical miles and 787 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 83 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the threshold height was good. However, the threshold speed was too high at 110 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The actual touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the flare. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind of 19 knots at 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 19 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 953 meters, which is 24% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed. However, the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the approach and landing was evident, and the landing distance was relatively short.
