MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 4.2° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.8° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 243 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,369 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,369 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,394 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 12 at UBBG Ganja International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,251 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 250 degrees.
The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Ganja. The climb took 13 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,114 feet above sea level to 27,656 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,542 feet. The distance covered during this period was 54 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles southeast of Agdas and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Goycay. The descent took 11 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 27,831 feet above sea level to 13,994 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,837 feet. The distance covered during this period was 64 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 11 miles south of Xizi and lasted 7 minutes, covering 34 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its second descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Corat. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 14,009 feet above sea level to 10,066 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,942 feet. The distance covered during this period was 15 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Lokbatan and lasted 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its third descent, starting 4 miles southeast of Puta. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 9,396 feet above sea level to 7,025 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,372 feet. The distance covered during this period was 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 16 miles southeast of Puta and lasted 5 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its fourth descent, starting 20 miles south of Turkan. The descent took 5 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 7,007 feet above sea level to 2,083 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,923 feet. The distance covered during this period was 18 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 8 miles south of Turkan and lasted 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 347.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,362 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34, which had a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 973 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots and a touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 10 degrees.
The total landing distance was 2,283 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, scoring an overall grade of 85.3%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 347.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,362 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 4,001 meters. The threshold height at 70 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 148 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher than desired touchdown height.
The touchdown point was located 973 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the desired touchdown position. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. This suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,283 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown position and speed, the CRJ900 aircraft was able to land safely and smoothly at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
