Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.4°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 11 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 15 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,292 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 558 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Vision Jet began its taxiing process, taking approximately 10 minutes to reach the runway. Upon reaching runway 35, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 729 meters, or 22% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 94 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10°C, with a gentle headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 943 feet above sea level to 26,007 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 26,007 feet for 7 minutes while covering 33 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 9 miles northeast of UBGE Bygyr Airport Geoktschai, with the aircraft descending from 26,016 feet to 2,377 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
Upon approaching UBBG Ganja International Airport, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 30, aligning itself with the runway from the southeast. The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 71 knots and a touchdown rate of -31 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.3 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 922 meters, or 28% of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.7 meters from the centerline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 180 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 192 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 55 minutes.
The final approach to runway 30 at UBBG Ganja International Airport from the south east was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 308.0° at 4 nm and 1,298 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a 21 kt headwind, which contributed to a relatively high threshold speed of 100 kt. However, the touchdown speed of 71 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -31 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The aircraft touched down 114 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the ideal point. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 14.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 6 kt. The total landing distance of 922 m was 28% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a 21 kt wind at 290°, may have played a role in the approach and landing.
The rollout phase was also notable, with the aircraft misaligned by 16.7 m from the centreline. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a score of 89.2%. The approach and landing were executed with good quality, and the touchdown speed and rate were within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was too high, and the touchdown and rollout positions were slightly misaligned.
