The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The aircraft, a PC-24 Air Ambulance, required a takeoff distance of 651 meters, which is 16% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 128 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 16, requiring a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 9 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg also covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, but took 15 seconds to complete. The pattern downwind leg was the longest, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles in 80 seconds. The base leg turn required a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 16.0 degrees.

The final approach to runway 16 was made from the north, with a heading of 189.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 636 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 111 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 426 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 104 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,116 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centreline.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 62 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 91.37 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 189.0° at 1 nautical mile and 636 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 111 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 426 meters, and the touchdown speed of 104 knots was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the fair touchdown rate.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions likely had a minimal impact on the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,116 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the overall score.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a stop safely. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, which prevented the landing from being perfect.
