Landing on runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 94.51 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 134.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 675 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed on runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 98 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 339 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly. The touchdown speed of 88 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The touchdown rate of -133 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without any significant shock or jolt.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. This is an important aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft remains stable and under control during the landing process.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: the temperature was 12°C, and the wind was blowing at 14 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. These conditions were likely taken into account by the pilot during the landing, and the aircraft's performance was able to adapt to the wind conditions. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 94.5%.
