MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.4 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 15 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 424 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,144 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,144 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 881 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Phenom 300E aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 17, utilizing 57% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 122 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 929 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 21,689 feet, a vertical increase of 20,759 feet in just 5 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 7 minutes as it covered a distance of 41 nautical miles. The descent phase that followed was initiated 10 miles north-east of Qobustan, with the aircraft losing 20,359 feet in altitude over a period of 16 minutes as it covered a distance of 70 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a second climb phase, this time from 1,620 feet above sea level to 3,495 feet, before entering another level cruise phase.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Gabala International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 16, aligning itself with the runway heading of 168.0°. The aircraft touched down 461 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 103 knots and a touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 2,059 meters, accounting for 59% of the available runway length. The aircraft's runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, but the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with the total flight distance covering 167 nautical miles and the aircraft using 279 kilograms of fuel over a flight duration of 45 minutes.
The final approach to runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was initiated from the north, heading 168.0° at 4 nm and 1,266 ft above ground level. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 65 ft above ground level, which was above the target. However, the threshold speed of 120 kt was significantly higher than the target, indicating a potential for a long rollout.
As the aircraft touched down 461 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 103 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -151 fpm was also good. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 9.6 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and wind at 11 kt from 330°, resulted in a crosswind of 3 kt and a tailwind of 10 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,059 m was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. Despite some minor deviations from the centreline, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 86.6%. Further analysis and training may be necessary to improve the approach and touchdown alignment, as well as to reduce the threshold speed and landing distance.
