This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 17, it covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 11 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was navigated in less than 1 nautical mile in 4 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 20.7 degrees. The downwind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 7 seconds.

The final approach to runway 34 was made from the south, with a heading of 349.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 200 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a runway length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was achieved at 123 knots. The touchdown distance was 415 meters, and the touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -82 feet per minute.

However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 172 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 19 knots. The total landing distance was 1,184 meters, which is 30% of the runway length.

Landing on runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 91.81 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 91.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 349.0° at 1 nautical mile and 200 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, resulting in a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent performance, with a touchdown speed of 111 knots and a touchdown rate of -82 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 415 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was off by 15.6 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 172°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 19 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviations in the landing performance. Despite these minor issues, the pilot's overall performance was commendable, and the aircraft landed safely within 30% of the runway length.
