Departure
Hold the nosewheel on and wait for the speed to reach 130 kt before rotating.
What happened: You rotated early, lifting off at 105 kt against a target of 130 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 130 kt before you rotate.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 3.6 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 3.6 ft, but 148 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,061 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,061 m of the 2,896 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 833 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 344 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 105 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 350 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 86 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,024 feet above sea level to 43,763 feet above sea level, an increase of 42,740 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 10 miles west of Aghsu, Azerbaijan, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Turyancay, Azerbaijan, and took 28 minutes to descend from 43,833 feet above sea level to 2,782 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,051 feet. The descent covered a distance of 127 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31L at UGGG Lochini was made from the southeast, heading 317.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,146 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31L was successful, with the touchdown point being 541 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 86 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 149 degrees.
The total landing distance was 2,105 meters, which is 73% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 247 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used 503 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at UGGG Lochini, achieving a score of 91.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 31L, which has a length of 2,896 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 541 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 86 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 149°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 2,105 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a smooth rollout. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the use of a tailwind may be areas for improvement in future landings.
