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 29 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 9.1°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 4,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 219 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Gabala International Airport (UBBQ) took approximately 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The Phenom 300E then departed from runway 16, utilizing 22% of the 3,500-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 110 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 260°, resulting in a crosswind component of 16 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot.
The enroute climb phase commenced overhead Gabala International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 2,025 feet above sea level to a cruise altitude of 24,891 feet, a vertical gain of 22,866 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 24 nautical miles, the aircraft began its descent from 24,993 feet above sea level to 1,296 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,697 feet, in 17 minutes and covering 81 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB) was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 347.0° at an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold.
The Phenom 300E landed on runway 34, utilizing 18% of the 4,001-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 214 meters and a touchdown speed of 99 knots. The touchdown rate was slightly higher than expected at -456 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters. Following touchdown, the aircraft experienced a slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment, deviating from the centerline by 9.7 meters. The total landing distance was 701 meters, and the total flight distance was 133 nautical miles, with a fuel consumption of 239 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 347.0° at 4 nm and 1,293 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 108 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 99 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 214 m was also good.
However, the touchdown characteristics revealed a hard touchdown rate of -456 fpm, which may have caused some discomfort for the passengers. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline, which may have required some corrective action from the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 30 kt at 330°, contributed to a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 29 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 701 m, which accounted for 18% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline, indicating some deviation from the desired path. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was satisfactory, with a final score of 93.4%.
