Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.5° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 3.5° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 142 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 155 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a C400 Corvalis, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Nasosnaya Air Base. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Once at the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 36 at UB12, with a takeoff distance of 418 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 79 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 161 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Haci Zeynalabdin, near Sumqayit City, Azerbaijan, where the aircraft climbed from 926 feet above sea level to 3,911 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,984 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of Sumqayit City, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 7 miles northwest of Nardaran, near Baku City, Azerbaijan, where the aircraft descended from 3,683 feet above sea level to 2,247 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,436 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 5 miles north of Nardaran, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was made from the north, heading 166.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a touchdown point 105 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 63 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -111 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 8 degrees.
The total landing distance was 854 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.4 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, taking 16 minutes, and the aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Cessna 400 Corvalis, successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, scoring a high 92.3% on its landing performance. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 166.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 79 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was located 105 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 63 kt was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -111 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting a controlled descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 13.5 meters. This deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 8°.
The total landing distance of 854 meters was relatively short, accounting for only 21% of the runway length. This indicates a successful landing, as the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.4 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have drifted off-center during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Cessna 400 Corvalis at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was satisfactory, with a high score of 92.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely and within a relatively short distance.
