Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 169 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 149 kt against a target of 169 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 169 kt.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 7.6 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 8.4 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 six 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,954 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,954 m of the 3,275 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 494 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from UGGG Lochini, the Cessna Citation X, registered as N750VY, began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 31L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 697 meters, or 24% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 134 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 320°, resulting in a 9-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it passed overhead UGTB Tbilisi International Airport, Georgia, and continued its ascent to 40,995 feet above sea level, a gain of 38,446 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 8 miles north of UBGO Tanrykulular Airport, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 31 nautical miles. Subsequent to this, the aircraft began its descent from 40,991 feet to 2,000 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,991 feet in 17 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase was re-initiated 17 miles north of Bilajer, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 19 nautical miles.
Upon approaching UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 17 from the north, heading 179.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 117 knots, and the touchdown point was 70 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -53 feet per minute was excellent. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 293 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 56 minutes and a fuel consumption of 756 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 17 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 179.0° at 4 nm and 1,235 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 117 kt, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing configuration.
As the aircraft touched down 70 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 107 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -53 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of accuracy in the pilot's control of the aircraft's descent. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind of 4 kt at 170°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,865 m was 87% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision in the pilot's management of the aircraft's rollout. Overall, the landing was scored 92.3%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
