Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 31 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3.7° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.5° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,315 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,315 m of the 3,292 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 602 m past the threshold — beyond 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 1,476 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,068 feet above sea level to 19,962 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,894 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles west of Haci Zeynalabdin, a city in Sumqayit, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles southeast of Agdas, a city in Aghdash Rayon, Azerbaijan, and descended from 19,997 feet above sea level to 4,536 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,460 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles southeast of Samux, a city in Samukh Rayon, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile north of Qasim Ismayilov, a city in Shamkir Rayon, Azerbaijan, and descended from 4,018 feet above sea level to 2,496 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,522 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at UBBG Ganja International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 144.0° at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 1,431 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 3,292 meters. The threshold height at 70 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 135 knots.
The touchdown point was 187 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 320°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,235 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 200 nautical miles, taking 49 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,494 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at UBBG Ganja International Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.7%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 144.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,431 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 12, which has a length of 3,292 meters.
The threshold height at 70 feet agl was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to touch down. The threshold speed was also good, reaching 135 knots. The touchdown point was 187 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -387 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 15°C and wind speeds of 17 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, but the tailwind component was significant at 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,235 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that need to be addressed. The pilots and air traffic controllers will need to review the flight data to determine the causes of these deviations and take corrective action to improve future landings.
