Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 22 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 14° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.7° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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 7.2 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 12 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,051 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 176 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Phenom 300E began its journey with a taxiing period of 12 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 35, utilizing 780 meters, or 24% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 116 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18°C, with a gentle wind of 6 knots at 310°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 78 nautical miles in 20 minutes, ascending from 945 feet above sea level to 43,010 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 34 minutes and covered 806 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 43,003 feet to 8,002 feet in 10 minutes, while covering 146 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 7 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles, before the aircraft commenced its final descent. The descent from 7,995 feet to 1,791 feet in 10 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles, set the stage for the aircraft's approach to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport.
The Phenom 300E executed a final approach to runway 06L, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 64.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft landed safely, utilizing 176 meters, or 26% of the runway, to come to a stop. The touchdown speed of 102 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -412 feet per minute was slightly higher than desired. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing the journey in 88 minutes, covering a total distance of 1,098 nautical miles, and consuming 1,224 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06L at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen 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 176 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 102 kt was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -412 fpm was slightly harder than desired, indicating a slightly steeper descent than intended. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a 12 kt headwind, may have also played a role in the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 789 m was 26% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.0 m from the centreline, indicating a minor issue with the pilot's ability to maintain directional control during the rollout phase. Despite these minor issues, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a final score of 93.2%.
