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 327 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna CJ4 Citation took off from runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, a significant international airport in Baku, Azerbaijan. The aircraft's departure roll was smooth, and it lifted off the ground at a speed of 106 knots, covering a takeoff distance of just 98 meters, which is only 2% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a moderate headwind of 14 knots from a direction of 160 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 981 feet above sea level to 450 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish itself in the local airspace.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The approach was made from the north, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 175.0 degrees and an altitude of 440 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold at this point, and it was well-positioned for a smooth landing.
The landing itself was a success, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 87 knots. The touchdown distance was just 327 meters, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway's length of 4,001 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -107 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as they were at takeoff, with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a moderate headwind of 14 knots from a direction of 160 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft rolled out of the runway, maintaining a very good alignment. The total landing distance was 581 meters, which is just 15% of the runway's length. This is a testament to the aircraft's excellent handling characteristics and the pilot's skillful landing technique.
In terms of the flight's overall performance, the Cessna CJ4 Citation flew a total distance of 6 nautical miles, taking just 4 minutes to complete the flight.
