Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 7.2 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 7.2 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 26 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 26 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 26 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,749 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,749 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Indira Gandhi International Airport, taking 18 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 27, with the aircraft taking off after covering 80% of the 2,137-meter runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 2 miles west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,411 feet above sea level to 33,501 feet, an increase of 32,089 feet in 25 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 311 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 79 degrees.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles west of Khanpur Airport in Pakistan. This phase of the flight lasted 86 minutes and covered a distance of 1,177 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 82 miles northeast of Langarud in Iran. The descent from 33,002 feet to 16,611 feet took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 37 miles south of Zyrya in Azerbaijan. This phase of the flight lasted only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 11 miles south of Zyrya. The descent from 16,643 feet to 1,286 feet took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at Heydar Aliyev International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing occurred on a runway with a length of 3,284 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 149 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 120 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,671 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,629 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 160 minutes. The aircraft used 12,833 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 17, which has a length of 3,284 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 140 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 149 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 131 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe speed. However, the touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the landing phase. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,671 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and safety, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a relatively short distance.
