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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
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 463 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35 at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 198 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 29 knots at a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 25 knots. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 35, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 62 seconds.
As the aircraft continued its pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 35, which it navigated in 15 seconds. The pattern then proceeded with a downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees at 86.4 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 55 seconds.
The aircraft then turned onto the base leg, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees at 12.0 degrees. The final approach to runway 34 was made from the south, with a heading of 348.0 degrees at an altitude of 656 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a threshold height that was good and a threshold speed of 74 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, covering 461 meters, and the touchdown speed was 54 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was -152 feet per minute, which was within acceptable limits.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 330 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The total landing distance was 507 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.0 meters. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft 404, a commercial airliner carrying 404 passengers, successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 348.0° at an altitude of 656 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed with a high degree of precision, as evident from the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when it crossed the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 74 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 461 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly.
The touchdown speed of 54 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the aircraft was able to land safely and smoothly.
The total landing distance of 507 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for only 13% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and skill, and the aircraft was able to land safely and smoothly despite the challenging weather conditions.
