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 9.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.2 ft, and this flight then touched down at 260 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,291 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 140 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, a movement that lasted 18 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 136 kt and departed after using 2,898 m of runway, representing 73 % of the available length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 34 °C, wind from 050° at 9 kt, a crosswind component of 8 kt and a tailwind component of 4 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north of Yeni Suraxani, with the airplane ascending from 895 ft asl to 36,975 ft asl, a gain of 36,080 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 129 nm.
Level cruise began 4 miles south-west of Goycay and was maintained for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 73 nm.
Descent was initiated 4 miles south-west of Verkhniy Dashkesan, with the flight descending from 37,928 ft asl to 4,027 ft asl, a loss of 33,900 ft in 19 minutes over a distance of 103 nm.
The final approach to runway 14R at UBBN Nakhchivan Airport was conducted from the north-west on a heading of 138.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,178 ft agl. Local weather at the destination reported a temperature of 31 °C, wind from 159° at 10 kt, a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind component of 9 kt.
Landing on runway 14R, which is 3,291 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 130 kt. Touchdown occurred 139 m down the runway at a speed of 128 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 419 fpm and very good alignment. The total landing distance measured 1,354 m, equivalent to 41 % of the runway length, and rollout alignment was also very good.
The flight covered a total of 314 nm, took 61 minutes, and consumed 2,818 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 14R at UBBN Nakhchivan Airport was flown from the north-west on a heading of 138.0° at 4 nm and 1,178 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 130 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and the flare produced a touchdown distance that was good at 139 m.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 128 kt, noted as a little fast, and a hard touchdown rate of minus 419 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Rollout continued with runway rollout alignment very good and a total landing distance of 1,354 m, representing 41 % of the 3,291 m runway. Local weather was 31 °C, wind 10 kt from 159°, giving a 9 kt headwind and 4 kt crosswind.
Maintain the excellent alignment and stabilised approach while refining speed control to reduce the touchdown speed slightly and smoothing the flare to lessen the hard rate, which will further improve the already high score of 96.8 %.
