Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 32 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 301 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 604 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 108 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and wind blowing at 11 knots from 339 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Yeni Suraxani, a suburb of Baku City, Azerbaijan, where the aircraft climbed from 1,029 feet above sea level to 8,803 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,774 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-west of Bilajari, another suburb of Baku City, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another climb 1 mile north-east of Khirdalan, a town in the Absheron Rayon, Azerbaijan, where it climbed from 8,776 feet above sea level to 9,369 feet above sea level, an increase of 593 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north-west of Qobu, a town in the Absheron Rayon, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile east of Aghsu, a town in the Aghsu Rayon, Azerbaijan, where it descended from 9,805 feet above sea level to 2,673 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,132 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles east of UBGE Bygyr Airport Geoktschai, a small airport in the Goychay Rayon, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 6 miles east of Goycay, a town in the Goychay Rayon, Azerbaijan, where it climbed from 2,869 feet above sea level to 3,428 feet above sea level, an increase of 560 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles north-east of Goycay, where the aircraft descended from 3,434 feet above sea level to 1,883 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,551 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was made from the south, heading 348.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 750 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was successful, with a runway length of 3,474 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was a little below the target at 100 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 297 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 94 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -559 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and wind blowing at 12 knots from 160 degrees. The crosswind was
The aircraft in question is the YS-11, which successfully landed at UBBQ Gabala International Airport. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 348.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 750 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,474 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 100 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was not at the optimal speed when reaching the threshold.
The touchdown distance of 297 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain control during the landing process. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -559 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft was experiencing a high rate of descent during the final stages of the landing.
One notable issue with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 17.2 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error, and it is essential to investigate the cause of this deviation to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 12 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's misalignment during touchdown.
