Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 17 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 six 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: glideslope 4.0° against the runway's 3°.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.1° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,753 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,753 m of the 3,472 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 315 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Take-off was on runway 35. The aircraft used 1,094 m of runway, which is 34 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 107 kt. Local weather at departure was 26 °C with wind 21 kt from 140°, giving a 14 kt crosswind and a 17 kt tailwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 32 seconds, averaging 1,566 fpm and reaching 183 kt at the top of the climb. The climb continued from 946 ft asl to 17,995 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering 37 nm, beginning about 1 mile north of UBBB.
The aircraft levelled at 18,000 ft asl for 3 minutes, covering 21 nm, starting roughly 9 miles west of Haci Zeynalabdin.
Descent from 18,000 ft asl to 2,740 ft asl lasted 12 minutes and covered 55 nm, beginning about 5 miles north-west of Qobustan.
Final approach to runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport began at 1,646 ft agl and descended to 39 ft agl in 98 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, centreline, speed and wings level; the glideslope check was not met. The landing gear was lowered at 2,481 ft agl while the aircraft was at 162 kt. Flaps were set to position 4 at 2,011 ft agl with a speed of 141 kt.
The aircraft touched down on runway 34. Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 131 kt. The flare was described as very good, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 315 m from the threshold at 125 kt, with a rate of -228 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 5.1 m. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 1,668 m, representing 48 % of the 3,472 m runway. Runway rollout ended slightly misaligned by 8.1 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 29 °C with wind 4 kt from 350°, giving a 4 kt headwind and no crosswind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered 121 nm in 29 minutes and consumed 418 kg of fuel.
