MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 16°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 637 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 637 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB) took approximately 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Vision Jet then departed from runway 17, utilizing 77% of the 2,528-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 97 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16°C, with a headwind of 23 knots at 180°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Biny Selo, increasing its altitude from 478 feet above sea level to 749 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 749 feet, before initiating another climb 1 mile south-east of Saray. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 702 feet to 10,002 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and climb phases, with notable climbs occurring 1 mile south-east of Aghsu and 6 miles east of Gabala International Airport (UBBQ). The final descent phase began 6 miles east of UBBQ, with the aircraft descending from 3,996 feet to 1,570 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The Vision Jet then initiated its final approach to runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport, touching down 197 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 58 knots. The touchdown rate was -27 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 868 meters, accounting for 25% of the 3,474-meter runway. The aircraft utilized 147 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a total distance of 124 nautical miles and lasted 39 minutes.
The Vision Jet successfully completed a landing on runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport from the north, aligning with the heading of 159.0° at 1 nm and 426 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable descent. The threshold speed of 82 kt was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 58 kt was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -27 fpm was perfect, signifying a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 m from the centreline, which may require attention during future approaches. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a 6 kt headwind, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 868 m, accounting for 25% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 94.7% reflecting the minor deviation from the centreline.
