The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, where the aircraft, a Carenado PA44 with registration G-BGCP, accelerated down the 4,001-meter runway. The takeoff distance was a mere 80 meters, accounting for just 2% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 81 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it encountered a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 33 knots from a direction of 344 degrees. This resulted in a significant headwind component, which would have a notable impact on the flight's performance. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot.
The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 34, navigating the aircraft through a tight turn that covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 10 seconds. This demonstrated exceptional flying skills and control. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in 20 seconds, further showcasing the pilot's expertise.
As the aircraft entered the downwind turn, it covered a distance of 2 nautical miles while maintaining an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. This phase of the flight was followed by a downwind leg, which lasted for less than 1 nautical mile in 104 seconds. The pilot then began the final approach to runway 34, flying the aircraft from the south at a heading of 346.0 degrees and an altitude of 237 feet above ground level.
The landing itself was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 63 knots. The touchdown distance was a respectable 235 meters, and the touchdown rate was an impressive -71 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 5.6 meters.
The flight concluded with a total distance of 2 nautical miles, which was covered in just 3 minutes. The aircraft used a relatively small amount of fuel, consuming just 2 kilograms during the flight. Overall, the flight was a testament to the pilot's skill and expertise, as well as the aircraft's performance in challenging weather conditions.

The PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The final approach was conducted from the south, aligning with the runway 34 heading of 346.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 237 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 75 knots. The touchdown distance of 235 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 63 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -71 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.6 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach and landing procedures.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 37 knots from a direction of 344°. This resulted in a significant headwind component of 37 knots, with a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot. The headwind was likely a contributing factor to the slightly above-target threshold speed and the slightly misaligned touchdown position. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated good handling and control characteristics.
