Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 12 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 5.9°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 61 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 61 ft, 16 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside 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 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 1,269 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 38 knots at 190°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Baku, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,024 feet above sea level to 36,938 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,914 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 8 miles north of Turyancay, and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 734 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 6 miles west of Yenicaga, and the aircraft descended from 37,262 feet above sea level to 10,145 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,117 feet, in 16 minutes and covering 86 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began again 8 miles north of Sapanca, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 15 miles north of Agva, and the aircraft descended from 9,689 feet above sea level to 3,890 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,799 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began again 9 miles west of Cat, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent started 10 miles north of Gebze, and the aircraft descended from 3,450 feet above sea level to 1,798 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,651 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24R at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, from the north east, heading 244.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,491 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 423 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -151 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 270°.
The total landing distance was 974 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,038 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 116 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 5,593 kilograms.
The Airbus A32NX successfully landed at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the final approach and landing phases. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 244.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,491 feet above ground level.
The pilot's performance during the final approach was impressive, with a score of 99.0%. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 423 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, there were a few minor areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than recommended, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. Nevertheless, the actual touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute was still within the acceptable range.
The landing was also affected by the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a good runway touchdown position, albeit slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 974 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's deceleration and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phases of the landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in the final approach and landing phases. While there were a few minor areas for improvement, the overall performance was impressive, and the aircraft was safely brought to a stop on the runway.
