Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nosewheel on and wait for the speed to reach 130 kt before rotating.
What happened: You rotated early, lifting off at 108 kt against a target of 130 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 130 kt before you rotate.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 115 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 145 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,769 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,769 m of the 2,896 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 564 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 595 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 108 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took it to an altitude of 43,003 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, took 17 minutes and involved an increase in altitude of 42,078 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. This phase began 4 miles east of Lahic, a town in the Ismayilli Rayon region of Azerbaijan. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 12 miles south of Kurush, a town in the Dagestan region of Russia. This descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 43,002 feet to 2,814 feet above sea level, a decrease of 40,188 feet, and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles. The descent took 30 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 31L at UGGG Lochini was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 316.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,168 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 2,896 meters, and the threshold height was slightly above the target. The threshold speed was also well above the target at 108 knots. The touchdown point was 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 88 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -44 feet per minute was perfect.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.0 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,672 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 252 nautical miles, and the flight took 65 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 518 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at UGGG Lochini, achieving a score of 95.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 316.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,168 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 31L, which has a length of 2,896 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 88 knots. This touchdown speed was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -44 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 108 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,672 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling.
