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

Landing Score 81.66 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 318.0° at 2 nautical miles and 824 feet above ground level. The final approach was completed with a good threshold speed of 124 knots, but the threshold height was above the target at 65 feet above ground level.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft had a good touchdown distance of 130 meters, and the touchdown speed of 107 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -736 feet per minute, which may indicate a slightly hard landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.2 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots from 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 20 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment and touchdown position. The total landing distance was 608 meters, which is 15% of the runway length.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centerline, which may indicate some difficulty in maintaining control during the landing.
