MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 119 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 93 kt against a target of 119 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 119 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

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 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 260 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport proceeded with a taxi time of 5 minutes and a distance of less than 1 nm to the runway. The aircraft rolled out on runway 35, achieving a takeoff distance of 943 m, which represented 29 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at a speed of 128 kt under local conditions of 31 °C, 14 kt wind from 340°, with a crosswind component of 5 kt and a headwind of 13 kt. The climb phase began 1 mile north of the departure field, rising from 951 ft asl to 27,995 ft asl—a gain of 27,045 ft—within 10 minutes while covering 43 nm.
The descent commenced 14 miles east of Qobustan, descending from 27,998 ft asl to 2,416 ft asl, a loss of 25,582 ft over 21 minutes and 95 nm. Approach to runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was conducted from the north, maintaining a heading of 167.0° at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl. Landing on the 3,470 m runway occurred with a threshold speed slightly below target at 93 kt. The touchdown distance was 259 m, with a touchdown speed of 85 kt and a descent rate of –125 fpm. The touchdown position was misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline, and the overall runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 522 m, representing 15 % of the runway length. Local conditions at the destination were 32 °C, 10 kt wind from 180°, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 10 kt.
The entire flight covered a distance of 145 nm over a duration of 36 minutes, consuming 241 kg of fuel. The sequence of taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach, and landing phases proceeded in a continuous, smoothly connected manner, with all performance figures falling within the expected operational envelope for the aircraft.
The final approach to runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was executed from the north, maintaining a heading of 167.0° at 4 nm and 1,285 ft AGL. The aircraft approached with a threshold height that was considered good, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 93 kt. The approach quality was smooth, with the aircraft maintaining the required glide path and speed profile until the touchdown point.
Touchdown occurred at a distance of 259 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 85 kt and a descent rate of –125 fpm, all within acceptable limits. The touchdown position was misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 522 m, representing 15 % of the 3,470 m runway length. Local weather conditions included a temperature of 32 °C, a wind of 10 kt from 180°, a crosswind component of 2 kt, and a headwind of 10 kt.
Overall, the landing performance achieved a score of 95.7 %. The approach, touchdown, and rollout phases were executed with high proficiency, demonstrating effective aircraft handling and adherence to performance parameters. The slight misalignments were within acceptable tolerances, and the overall landing distance remained well within the available runway length.
