Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 204 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 to the runway, which took 26 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 201 meters, which was 6% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 38 knots at 346°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 37 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, and climbed from 990 feet above sea level to 7,360 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,370 feet in 11 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northwest of Sumqayit, and lasted 4 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 10 miles west of Haci Zeynalabdin, and climbed from 7,583 feet above sea level to 9,395 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,812 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles east of Qobustan, and lasted 11 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Aghsu, and descended from 9,409 feet above sea level to 3,024 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,385 feet in 11 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northeast of Goycay, and lasted 23 minutes, covering 63 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 6 miles west of Qax, and descended from 3,009 feet above sea level to 2,127 feet above sea level, a decrease of 883 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Aliabad, and lasted 4 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at UBBY Zaqatala International Airport, from the north, heading 158.0° at 1 nautical mile and 363 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 at UBBY Zaqatala International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 202 meters, which was 21% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 78 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -186 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 229°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 436 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 181 nautical miles, taking 77 minutes, and the aircraft used 53 kilograms of fuel.
The DA62 aircraft successfully landed at UBBY Zaqatala International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 158.0° at 1 nautical mile and 363 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 84 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach. However, the touchdown speed of 78 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.
The touchdown distance of 202 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor error in navigation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 229°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were generally favorable for landing, and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely in these conditions was demonstrated by the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 436 meters was 21% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had maintained good control and precision throughout the approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the DA62 aircraft's landing at UBBY Zaqatala International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing. While there were a few minor deviations from ideal performance, the landing was ultimately safe and controlled.
