MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 183 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UBBQ Gabala International Airport, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 34, with a takeoff distance of 2,060 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Gabala International Airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles north of the airport, rising from an altitude of 2,215 feet above sea level to 20,992 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,777 feet in just 9 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise 8 miles east of Kyurdarmir, Azerbaijan, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 14 miles northwest of Mughan, Azerbaijan, where the aircraft descended from 20,749 feet above sea level to 7,238 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,510 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise 16 miles southeast of Puta, Azerbaijan, lasting for 5 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began again 19 miles south of Turkan, Azerbaijan, where the aircraft descended from 6,912 feet above sea level to 1,966 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,946 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise 7 miles south of Hovsan, Azerbaijan, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final descent started 3 miles south of Hovsan, Azerbaijan, where the aircraft descended from 1,988 feet above sea level to 1,339 feet above sea level, a decrease of 649 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport from the south, heading 360.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,329 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 184 meters and a touchdown speed of 126 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -526 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 50 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,149 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 183 nautical miles, taking 47 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,310 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 35, which has a length of 3,284 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 132 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 184 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly below the expected value, but still considered good. The touchdown rate of -526 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's stability and control during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,149 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the desired path during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, but with some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
