The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 347.0° at 1 nautical mile and 119 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and speed of 114 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 228 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 103 knots. This indicates a controlled descent, and the touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, signifying a safe and stable landing. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,136 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.6 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining alignment with the runway centerline. With further training and practice, the pilot can work to refine their skills and achieve a higher score.
