Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Add power sooner on final to hold 118 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.

What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 16 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 120 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 118 kt at the threshold

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 132 kt with 5.9° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 162 kt, 17 kt under its 179 kt target.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 914 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,354 m of runway left; gear up at 74 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,580 fpm on average to 914 ft.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 3,474 m runway.

Rolled from 167 m in, drifted 1.7 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 25 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

How to read this

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

The stabilisation gates

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.

At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 5 kt below the approach speed of 118 kt.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.4 to 0.5 nm, then not again: slow from 0.5 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

The approach to UBBB 34

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 20 ft below the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 17× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 21 m off the centreline.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 59 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 35 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.8 nm, then slow to 1.4 nm (up to −9 kt), then inside the band to 0.5 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −17 kt).

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The flare80.39

The flare wandered off the target profile. Pitch reached 8.6° at touchdown, well above this type's ground attitude. Touchdown was 418 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

13 kt across from the left, which takes about 8° of crab to hold the centreline at 98 kt. Touched down with 6° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 309° at 23 kt · 18 kt head · 13 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 40 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft. Touched down 418 m in, 113 m past the ideal 305 m.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 320 fpm at the flare to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.8° on the way down.

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Gabala International Airport (UBBQ) took approximately 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 16, utilizing 26% of the 3,500-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 133 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 160°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed out of Gabala International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 2,078 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 27,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,931 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its enroute descent 7 miles south of Aghsu. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 27,009 feet to 1,993 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,016 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, before commencing its final approach to runway 34 at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB).

The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 346.0° at an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft landed on the 4,001-meter runway, with a touchdown point located 335 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 98 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, but the touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned. The total landing distance was 1,001 meters, utilizing 25% of the runway. The aircraft used a total of 283 kilograms of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 159 nautical miles and took approximately 41 minutes to complete.
