Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 7.5 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 7.5 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 8.9° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,838 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,838 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,187 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 523 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,033 feet above sea level to 17,039 feet above sea level, a total increase of 16,006 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northeast of Sumqayit, lasting 9 minutes and covering 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 7 miles northwest of Qobustan, descending from 17,019 feet above sea level to 2,615 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,404 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 347.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,485 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 34, which had a length of 3,474 meters. The threshold height was above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 92 knots.
The touchdown point was 746 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 57 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -59 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -5°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 80 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,732 meters, accounting for 50% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 114 nautical miles, taking 38 minutes, and the aircraft used 143 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at UBBQ Gabala International Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.5%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, heading 347.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,485 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 746 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. However, the touchdown speed of 57 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -59 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The threshold height at 69 feet agl was above the target, and the threshold speed of 92 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high and fast during the approach. Nevertheless, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of -5°C and a 5-knot headwind, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,732 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the Vision Jet aircraft achieved a respectable score, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more precise approach and touchdown zone alignment. Nevertheless, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing at UBBQ Gabala International Airport.
