Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nosewheel on and wait for the speed to reach 130 kt before rotating.
What happened: You rotated early, lifting off at 109 kt against a target of 130 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 130 kt before you rotate.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 284 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 270 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 6.0° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 8.9° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,557 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 459 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation CJ4 taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The taxi-out required 15 minutes and covered 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 35. Takeoff distance was 648 m, representing 20 % of the runway, and liftoff speed was 109 kt. Local weather reported temperature 29 °C, wind 0 kt at 234 °, with zero crosswind and headwind.
Enroute climb began overhead UBBB, climbing from 947 ft asl to 39,961 ft asl, an increase of 39,014 ft in 16 minutes while covering 89 nm.
Level cruise started 5 miles north west of Lahic, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
A subsequent climb commenced 12 miles north of Ismayilli, climbing from 40,001 ft asl to 43,368 ft asl, an increase of 3,366 ft in 2 minutes and covering 9 nm.
Descent began 13 miles south of Kurush, descending from 43,360 ft asl to 2,797 ft asl, a decrease of 40,563 ft in 25 minutes and covering 136 nm.
The final approach to runway 31L at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport was from the south east, on a heading of 317.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,200 ft agl.
Landing on runway 31L, which is 2,997 m long, featured a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 108 kt, noted as well above target. Touchdown occurred 96 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 94 kt, with a touchdown rate of 1 fpm and very good runway touchdown alignment. Local weather at the time was temperature 24 °C, wind 9 kt at 309 °, crosswind 1 kt, headwind 9 kt. Total landing distance was 1,373 m, 46 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, a taxi-in that took 20 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 251nm, took 52, and used 516 kg of fuel.
The Cessna Citation CJ4 approached runway 31L at Tbilisi International Airport from the south-east on a heading of 317.0° at 4 nm and 1,200 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 108 kt.
Touchdown occurred 96 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was a little fast at 94 kt, while the touchdown rate was perfect at 1 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Total landing distance was 1,373 m, representing 46 % of the 2,997 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
With a score of 97.0 %, the landing was strong; reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds toward their targets will tighten the margin and further improve performance.
