Landing on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 85.31 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, scoring an overall grade of 85.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 347.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,404 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 34, which has a length of 4,001 meters.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 361 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -81 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to a slightly uneven rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 129°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during rollout. The total landing distance of 1,385 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center. Despite this, the landing was considered successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. Overall, the landing was a good demonstration of the PC-24 Air Ambulance's capabilities, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown position.
