Next time

Departure

Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.

What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.

What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 19 m off the centreline.

Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout

See Arrival 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.

Rotated early

The nose came up at 78 kt, 6 kt before the 84 kt rotate speed.

The rotate speed is set for the weight and the flap, and the nose should not start up before it. Lifting it early brings the aircraft to its liftoff attitude with less speed in hand, and on a long fuselage that is the tail-strike case. Keep the hands still until the speed is there, then make one smooth, continuous pull.

Rolled from 88 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 3.4 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.2 m left, in 11 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 13 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

How to read this

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Reached 35 ft with 2,554 m of runway left; gear up at 236 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,170 fpm on average to 970 ft.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

The stabilisation gates

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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 3.3 nm, about 1,180 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 1,000 ft gate, so through both gates. The last to settle was the centreline.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 43 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 26 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −7 kt and +9 kt on the approach speed of 86 kt.

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 35 ft, 279 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 5 ft, 45 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 125 m in, 179 m short of the ideal 305 m.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

How to read this

The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

Flight narrative

The Pilatus PC-12 taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, a movement that lasted 21 minutes and covered 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 35. The aircraft used 442 m of runway, which is 14 % of the available length, and rotated at 78 kt. Local weather at departure was 12 °C with wind 19 kt from 320°, giving a 12 kt crosswind component and a 14 kt headwind component.

Initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 46 seconds, averaging 1 146 fpm and reaching 88 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 976 ft asl to 26 008 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 28 nm while remaining overhead UBBB.

The aircraft levelled at 26 000 ft asl for 63 minutes, flying 232 nm, beginning the cruise about 1 mile east of Haci Zeynalabdin.

Descent began from 26 006 ft asl and proceeded to 3 907 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 76 nm. The descent started 5 miles east of Sedarak and included a brief level-off at 9 000 ft asl.

Final approach was to runway 32R at UBBN Nakhchivan Airport. From 1 414 ft agl the aircraft descended to -10 ft agl in 162 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1 000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The final flap position was 2 at 1 991 ft agl, with an approach speed of 129 kt.

Landing on runway 32R, which is 2 999 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 79 kt, slightly below target. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown was recorded at 125 m from the threshold, at 74 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 46 fpm. The touchdown point was 6.3 m off the centreline, and no bounce occurred.

The total landing roll was 899 m, representing 30 % of the runway length, and the rollout ended 18.6 m off the centreline. Local weather at landing was 8 °C with wind 10 kt from 230°, giving a 10 kt crosswind component and no headwind.

Overall, the flight covered 344 nm in 108 minutes and consumed 380 kg of fuel.
