MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 59 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 2,398 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,398 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 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 to the runway, which took approximately 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado PA44, then departed from runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 195 meters, which was 6% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 23 knots at 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,027 feet above sea level to 7,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,099 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 2 miles north of Bilajer and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 11 miles west of Aghsu, and descended from 6,982 feet above sea level to 6,277 feet above sea level, a decrease of 705 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 11 miles east of UBGE Bygyr Airport Geoktschai and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent from 5,982 feet above sea level to 2,938 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,045 feet, took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 3 miles east of Goycay and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was made from the south, heading 347.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,483 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 429 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -84 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°.
The total landing distance was 2,321 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 121 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 71 kilograms.
The Carenado PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at UBBQ Gabala International Airport on runway 34. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 347.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,483 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.8%.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target at 59 feet agl, while the speed was also slightly above the target at 74 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 429 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 66 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -84 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the satisfactory performance, there were some minor issues during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°, did not pose any significant challenges to the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 2,321 meters was 67% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and landing phases.
