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

Landing Score 90.54 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a score of 90.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 166.0° at an altitude of 114 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway. The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 16, which has a length of 4,001 meters.

The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 134 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown point was 373 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but still within an acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 113 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -76 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills ensured a safe landing.

The total landing distance was 1,395 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's speed and descent. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation from the centerline may be attributed to the pilot's efforts to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.

Overall, the PC-24 Air Ambulance's landing at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport was a success, with a score of 90.5%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing, despite the moderate weather conditions.
