Landing on runway 16 at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport in the FBW AIR TRANSAT C-GCKU

Landing Score 96.88 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, FBW AIR TRANSAT C-GCKU, successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport with a score of 96.9%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, heading 167.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 125 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 386 meters, and the touchdown speed of 121 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -238 feet per minute, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.7 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,055 meters, which is approximately 26% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.2 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown rate. These can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and reduce the risk of errors.
