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 604 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 125 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 18 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 16 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 90.5 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 7 nautical miles long and took 111 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was a distance of 5 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 7.7 degrees. The final approach to runway 16 was made from the north, at a heading of 170 degrees, and at an altitude of 551 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold at this point.

The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a touchdown point located 345 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 98 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.4 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The total landing distance was 1,359 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.9 meters.

In total, the flight distance was 17 nautical miles, taking 7 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 76 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

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

Landing Score 89.47 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 89.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 170.0° at 4 nautical miles and 551 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and speed of 126 knots at the threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 345 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 98 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position. The total landing distance was 1,359 meters, which is 34% of the runway length of 4,001 meters.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial misalignment. Despite these minor deviations, the pilot successfully brought the aircraft to a stop, demonstrating a high level of skill and control. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a good score of 89.5%.
