Landing on runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 97.38 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 97.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 160°.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 100 knots. The touchdown distance of 452 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 88 knots was good. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm).

However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the total landing distance of 692 meters was only 17% of the runway length, indicating a good overall landing performance.

The local weather conditions, including a moderate headwind of 14 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots, did not significantly impact the landing performance. Overall, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, resulting in a high score of 97.4%.
