Slow down before tight turns
See Departure Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,292 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 411 m touchdown sits inside 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Citation CJ3+ with the registration N60US, then departed from runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 311 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 111 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 170 degrees.
The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,010 feet above sea level to 33,074 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,063 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 44 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles west of Haci Zeynalabdin in Sumqayit City, Azerbaijan. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 5 miles west of Shamakhi in Shamakhi Rayon, Azerbaijan. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,325 feet above sea level to 2,382 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,943 feet.
The final approach to runway 30 at UBBG Ganja International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 308.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30, which had a length of 3,292 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 100 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 411 meters, and the touchdown speed was 93 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 340 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,042 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. 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 175 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 369 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at UBBG Ganja International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 308.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 30, which has a length of 3,292 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 100 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to slow down before touchdown.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 411 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 93 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -109 feet per minute, which is a good indication of the pilot's control and the aircraft's performance.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 4.8 meters off the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the wind drift.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,042 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were demonstrated to be good. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
