Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,733 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 507 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Piarco International Airport in Trinidad and Tobago, the ATR 72 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 10, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 50% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 121 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 110°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Piarco International Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,010 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 11,393 feet, a vertical gain of 10,383 feet over a distance of 34 nautical miles in 10 minutes. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 11,420 feet to 1,392 feet over a distance of 47 nautical miles in 11 minutes. The final approach to runway 10 at Maurice Bishop International Airport in Grenada was conducted from the west, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,334 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold.
The ATR 72 landed on runway 10 at Maurice Bishop International Airport, utilizing 43% of the available runway length, which measured 2,733 meters. The touchdown point was located 82 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 108 knots and a rate of descent of -82 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was also very good. Following a taxiing period of 3 minutes and a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 111 nautical miles and utilizing 471 kilograms of fuel over a flight time of 38 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 10 at TGPY Maurice Bishop International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved as the aircraft descended onto the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 116 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly fast touchdown speed of 108 kt.
The touchdown characteristics were otherwise impressive, with a touchdown rate of -82 fpm indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown process. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a 12 kt headwind, presented a moderate challenge, but the pilot's skills and experience allowed for a successful landing.
The total landing distance of 1,163 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment as it decelerated after touchdown. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.0%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot in this phase of flight.
