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 10 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 130 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 138 kt against a target of 130 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 130 kt at the threshold.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 2,029 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,029 m of the 4,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 694 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-700 then began its departure roll on runway 34, utilizing 743 meters, or 19% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 139 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 330°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 19-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 1,994 feet above sea level after ascending 1,115 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded overhead Mastaga, where the aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 1,994 feet for 11 minutes as it covered a distance of 39 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a final approach to runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level while maintaining a heading of 346.0° and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The Boeing 737-700 landed on runway 34, utilizing 2,059 meters, or 51% of the runway's length, to come to a stop. The touchdown point was 390 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, despite a slight misalignment of 9.7 meters from the centerline during the runway rollout phase. The total flight distance was 50 nautical miles, taking 21 minutes to complete, and the aircraft utilized 734 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, demonstrating a good approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,291 ft agl to a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 4 nm, heading 346.0°, and the aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the descent.
As the aircraft touched down, it was traveling at a speed of 120 kt, which was within the target range. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -147 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a 21 kt headwind, presented some challenges. The crosswind component was relatively low, at 6 kt, but the headwind component was significant, at 20 kt.
The total landing distance was 2,059 m, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. While this was within acceptable limits, the rollout phase was slightly marred by a deviation of 9.7 m from the centreline. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, earning a score of 93.3%. The crew's ability to manage the aircraft and adapt to the challenging weather conditions was commendable, and the landing was considered safe and successful.
