Maintain the centreline
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.
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 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 19 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35 at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 265 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at 350°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 25 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport and climbing from 350 feet above sea level to 1,182 feet, an increase of 833 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of the airport and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Hovsan and descending from 2,018 feet to 946 feet, a decrease of 1,072 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 15.0° at 4 nautical miles and 943 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 432 meters, which was 15% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 67 knots, and the touchdown rate was -173 feet per minute, both of which were considered good.
The local weather conditions during landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 350°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total landing distance was 589 meters, and the total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, taking 12 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 56 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft 404, a commercial airliner carrying 404 passengers, successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport on runway 34. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 15.0° at an altitude of 943 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The final approach to the runway was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down smoothly on the runway. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 77 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 67 knots, which was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and smoothly after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 17 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the aircraft was able to land safely and smoothly.
The total landing distance of 589 meters was only 15% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of Aircraft 404 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was a success, demonstrating the skill and expertise of the pilots and the safety of the aircraft.
