Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
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.
The 288 m touchdown sits inside 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 aircraft, a DA-50, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 78 kt, covering a takeoff distance of 297 m, which accounted for 7% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 16 kt blowing from 150 °.
Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it flew overhead the airport at Baku, Azerbaijan, for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. This brief enroute phase was a relatively short period of steady flight before the aircraft began its descent for landing.
The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 169.0 ° at an altitude of 99 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nm from the runway threshold. The landing was executed on runway 16, which had a length of 4,001 m. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 78 kt.
The touchdown distance was 287 m, which was a good result, and the touchdown speed was 72 kt, also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with a rate of -83 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 m.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 14 °C and a wind speed of 15 kt blowing from 150 °. The crosswind component was 4 kt, while the headwind component was 14 kt. The total landing distance was 454 m, which accounted for 11% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with a good takeoff, a brief but steady enroute phase, and a smooth and controlled landing. The aircraft used a total of 2 kg of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 3 nm.
The DA-50 aircraft successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 169.0° at an altitude of 99 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, and the pilot executed a smooth landing on runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 78 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 287 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 72 knots was consistent with the expected values. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -83 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with minimal deceleration, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.1 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component, which was 4 knots, and the headwind, which was 14 knots. Despite this, the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and executed a smooth rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 150°. The crosswind component was relatively low, and the headwind was moderate, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the runway touchdown position. Overall, the DA-50 aircraft performed well during the landing, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control.
