Landing Score 93.34 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 11°C, wind speed of 17 knots at 170°, and a crosswind of 3 knots.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 17, which has a length of 3,284 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 105 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 263 meters. The touchdown speed of 99 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute (fpm).

However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.8 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance of 608 meters, which is 19% of the runway length.

The local weather conditions played a significant role in the landing performance, with a headwind of 16 knots contributing to the smooth touchdown and rollout. The crosswind of 3 knots was relatively minor and did not significantly impact the landing performance. Overall, the PC-24 Air Ambulance demonstrated a good level of proficiency in landing at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with a score of 93.3%.
