Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.4 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 5.9 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 6.7 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 31L, utilizing 72% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 2,145 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 119 knots, with a local temperature of 21°C and a wind of 8 knots at 350°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots.
Following a smooth departure, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of UGTB Tbilisi International Airport, rising from an initial altitude of 2,586 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 32,010 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles. The climb rate was impressive, with a total increase of 29,424 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 38 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent approximately 6 miles northeast of Asp'indza. The descent phase was characterized by a significant decrease in altitude, from 31,948 feet to 429 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered a final level cruise phase approximately 1 mile northwest of UGSB Batumi International Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31, aligning with the runway from the southeast and maintaining a heading of 311.0° at 1 nautical mile and 278 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 415 meters and a touchdown speed of 95 knots. The touchdown rate was also within acceptable limits, at -163 feet per minute. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,203 meters, utilizing 48% of the available runway length. The total flight distance was 186 nautical miles, taking 47 minutes and consuming 359 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 31 at UGSB Batumi International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 106 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 415 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 95 kt was consistent with the expected value, and the touchdown rate of -163 fpm was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 m from the centreline, which may be attributed to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 260 °, contributed to a relatively stable and predictable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the runway centreline, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,203 m, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.5%, reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
