Smooth the climb
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 275 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Honda Jet took off from runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, a significant departure point in Baku, Azerbaijan. The aircraft's departure roll was smooth, and it achieved liftoff speed of 121 kt within a short takeoff distance of 260 m, which accounted for only 7% of the runway's total length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 4 °C and a moderate headwind of 13 kt from a direction of 170 °.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it transitioned from a low altitude of 171 ft above sea level to a higher altitude of 413 ft, a gain of 242 ft over a period of 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nm, marking the initial phase of the flight. The aircraft's climb performance was satisfactory, given the prevailing weather conditions.
Upon reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The approach was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 150.0 ° at an altitude of 405 ft above ground level and a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 100 kt.
The landing phase of the flight was notable for its smooth touchdown, which occurred at a speed of 87 kt and a distance of 273 m from the runway threshold. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -83 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.2 m. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 3 °C and a headwind of 12 kt from a direction of 170 °.
The total landing distance was 654 m, which accounted for only 16% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 3 nm, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft consumed 18 kg of fuel during the flight, marking a relatively efficient performance.
The Honda Jet successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 150.0° at 1 nautical mile and 405 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 100 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 273 meters, and the touchdown speed of 87 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was an excellent -83 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to improve the aircraft's alignment during landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly below-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance was 654 meters, which is 16% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the landing process. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position and the below-target threshold speed are areas for improvement.
