Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections to track the centreline against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 45 m off the centreline, and a heading variation of 1.6° usually follows into the initial climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings-level runway heading held through the climb
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 19 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 9.8 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,876 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,876 m of the 4,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 525 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 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-700 then began its departure roll on runway 34, utilizing 47% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 155 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16 °C, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 10 °, resulting in a headwind component of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, commencing approximately 1 mile southeast of Mastaga, a suburb of Baku City, Azerbaijan. The climb from an initial altitude of 1,010 feet above sea level to 1,680 feet above sea level, an increase of 670 feet, was achieved in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 1,680 feet above sea level for 13 minutes, during which time it covered a distance of 47 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, descending from an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target value of 145 knots, at 141 knots. The touchdown point was located 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,790 meters, accounting for 45% of the available runway length. The total flight distance was 56 nautical miles, taking approximately 20 minutes to complete, and the aircraft utilized 1,079 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 145 kt, which may have been due to the favorable headwind of 16 kt. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 141 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -189 fpm was also good, indicating a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's position was 103 m beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been due to the slightly below-target threshold speed. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.5 m from the centreline, which could have been a result of the crosswind of 7 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a wind of 17 kt at 10 °, may have contributed to the slight misalignment. The total landing distance of 1,790 m was 45% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the residual effects of the crosswind. Despite this, the overall landing performance was good, with a score of 93.2%. The slight deviations from the ideal performance were likely due to the challenging weather conditions and the aircraft's response to the crosswind.
