MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 4.9 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3.8°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 28 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 28 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 28 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,710 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,710 m of the 3,491 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 692 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Citation CJ3+, then departed from runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 377 meters, which is 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 28 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 24 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,006 feet above sea level to 40,688 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,682 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 87 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise started 49 miles west of Turkmenbasy, Balkan, Turkmenistan, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering 644 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles south of Ushtepa, Navoiy Region, Uzbekistan, and continued until it reached 6,183 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,395 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 114 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles northwest of UTCH Aitbuzum East Airport, Chinoz, Turkistan, Kazakhstan, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles northwest of UTAI Chartak Airport, Amir Timur, Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan, and continued until it reached 3,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,797 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more 6 miles west of Tashkent, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08R at UTTT Tashkent International Airport from the west, heading 81.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08R at UTTT Tashkent International Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 94 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 89 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,616 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 881 nautical miles, taking 86 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,084 kilograms of fuel.
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at Tashkent International Airport (UTTT) with a score of 94.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 81.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, ensuring a good threshold height and speed of 107 knots upon touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 262 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 94 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was an impressive -67 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 89°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. The total landing distance was 1,616 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and ensured a smooth transition from the landing phase to the taxiing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in executing a precise and controlled approach and landing.
