The left-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated successfully, with the aircraft completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The aircraft was then aligned for a final approach to runway 34 from the south, with a heading of 342.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 463 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 34 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 79 knots and a distance of 447 meters. The touchdown rate was excellent at -100 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 545 meters, which accounted for just 14% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centreline.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 3 nautical miles, which was covered in just 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -96 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 94.77 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 342.0° at 1 nautical mile and 463 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.

The temperature at the time of landing was 9°C, with a wind speed of 34 knots coming from 329°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 32 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot managed to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. The threshold speed was well above the target at 109 knots, indicating a high level of control and precision.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 79 knots and a touchdown rate of -100 feet per minute (fpm). This is an excellent rate, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance was also good, at 447 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 8.8 meters off the centerline. This is a minor issue, but it could be improved upon in future landings. The total landing distance was 545 meters, which is only 14% of the runway length. This is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft and make the most efficient use of the runway.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision. The aircraft performed well, and the pilot was able to navigate the challenging weather conditions with ease.
