What went well

Touched down at -104 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 265 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.73 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was a little below target at 95 kt at 71 %, Runway alignment max 8.85 m left at 89 %, −0.61 points
Departure Climb 1 — g force 1.10 to 1.37 g at 92 %, −0.05 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 116 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 95 kt against a target of 116 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 116 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 128 kt with 6.2° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 168 kt, 11 kt under its 179 kt target.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 946 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,409 m of runway left; gear up at 153 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,580 fpm on average to 946 ft.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 3,275 m runway.

Rolled from 1,160 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 3.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.8 m right. Airborne 50 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

How to read this

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.0 to 0.6 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.6 nm and slow from 0.6 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

The approach to UBBQ 16

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 60 ft above the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 17× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.6 nm, then 21 m left of it from 0.6 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 58 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 35 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 2.7 nm, then slow to 2.0 nm (up to −12 kt), then inside the band to 0.6 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −21 kt).

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The flare96.92

The flare tracked the target profile closely. Pitch reached 10.3° at touchdown, well above this type's ground attitude. Touchdown was 265 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 180° at 9 kt · 9 kt head · 2 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 23 ft, 32 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 17 ft, 33 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 265 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 460 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.1° on the way down.

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

Departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB) in Baku, Azerbaijan, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 14 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 17, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft utilizing 52% of the 1,692-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 128 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 170°, resulting in a 22-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft climbed away from Baku, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Biny Selo, ascending from an initial altitude of 974 feet above sea level to a cruise altitude of 24,009 feet, a vertical gain of 23,035 feet in just 8 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase of 14 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered 74 nautical miles, the enroute descent commenced 8 miles west of Aghsu. The aircraft descended from 23,994 feet to 2,534 feet, a decrease of 21,461 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.

Upon reaching the destination airport, Gabala International Airport (UBBQ), the aircraft began its final approach to runway 16 from the north, aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,402 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target value of 95 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 265 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 89 knots and the touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute were also within the desired parameters. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 164 nautical miles was achieved in 50 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 319 kilograms of fuel.
