Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.1 ft, and this flight then touched down at 156 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,181 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 619 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 1,415 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 35°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 349°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport and continued for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 976 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,397 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles northeast of UBKY Mollakend Airport in Kurdamir, Azerbaijan. This phase lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles west of Kerbakhiar in the Kalbajar District, Azerbaijan. The descent from 35,435 feet to 9,423 feet took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southeast of Sharur City in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijan. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 7 miles west of Calxanqala in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijan. The descent from 8,800 feet to 4,152 feet took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14R at UBBN Nakhchivan Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 138.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,302 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which has a length of 3,181 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 203 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 41°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,388 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 275 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 2,523 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at UBBN Nakhchivan Airport, achieving a high score of 95.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 138.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 14R, which has a length of 3,181 meters. The threshold speed was also good, reaching 134 knots. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 203 meters down the runway. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 41°C, and a moderate wind blowing at 8 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 1,388 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and rotation during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control of the aircraft.
