Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 4.5 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 12 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,628 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,628 m of the 3,472 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 488 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport took approximately one minute, covering less than one nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 35, with the aircraft clearing the runway threshold at 583 meters, or 18% of the runway length. Liftoff speed was achieved at 92 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind of 12 knots at 19 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 957 feet above sea level to 20,004 feet, an increase of 19,047 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded overhead UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, after which the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting five minutes and covering 23 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 4 miles north of Qobustan, with the aircraft descending from 19,924 feet to 2,596 feet, a decrease of 17,328 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft descending to 1,461 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed at a threshold speed of 80 knots, with a touchdown distance of 482 meters, or 44% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 63 knots, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -64 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, the overall landing performance was satisfactory. The total flight distance was 121 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 133 kilograms, and the flight duration was 39 minutes.
The Vision Jet touched down on runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from 1,461 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning with the runway heading of 347.0°. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 80 knots was achieved as expected.
The Vision Jet touched down at a speed of 63 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 482 meters was also good, indicating a controlled and stable approach. The touchdown rate of -64 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and gentle touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centreline, which may require attention during future approaches.
The Vision Jet rolled out on the runway, maintaining a slightly misaligned alignment of 12.2 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,520 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 250°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. Overall, the Vision Jet achieved a score of 94.4%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control during the landing.
