Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 304 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a C400 Corvalis, then departed from runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport. The takeoff distance was 317 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 75 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots.

The aircraft in question, a Cessna 400 Corvalis, successfully landed at Tbilisi International Airport (UGTB) on runway 13R. The pilot's performance was impressive, with a final approach score of 99.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,452 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the pilot demonstrated good control, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 79 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 302 meters. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute was also good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.9 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 140°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance was 940 meters, accounting for 31% of the runway length.
One notable aspect of the landing was the pilot's ability to maintain good runway rollout alignment, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. Overall, the pilot's performance was commendable, and the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently.
