Landing on runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 93.95 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 18 knots at 160°.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 471 meters, and the touchdown speed was good at 108 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -246 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.

The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,082 meters, which is 27% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
