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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,497 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 23 at ENKR Kirkenes Airport, Høybuktmoen, with a takeoff distance of 525 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 117 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -23 °C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 179°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead ENKR Kirkenes Airport, Høybuktmoen. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,293 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 15,159 feet, an increase of 13,866 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of Nikel, in the Murmansk Oblast, Russia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles southwest of UZAP Luostari Air Base Zapolyarnyy, in the Murmansk Oblast, Russia. The descent was from a maximum altitude of 15,310 feet to an altitude of 2,349 feet, a decrease of 12,961 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 7 miles west of Murmashi, in the Murmansk Oblast, Russia, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13 at ULMM Murmansk Airport was from the northwest, with a heading of 146.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,178 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13 at ULMM Murmansk Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 437 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -26 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -34 °C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 310°.
The total landing distance was 871 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 23.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 86 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 39 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 330 kilograms.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at ULMM Murmansk Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.6%. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,178 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 112 knots. The touchdown distance of 437 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 102 knots was well-controlled. The most notable aspect of the landing was the perfect touchdown rate of -26 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some areas of concern during the landing. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.3 meters from the centreline, which could pose a risk to the aircraft's stability and control during the rollout phase. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 23.6 meters from the centreline, which could lead to further complications during the post-landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were extremely cold, with a temperature of -34°C, but the wind conditions were relatively calm, with a speed of 0 knots from a direction of 310°. The lack of crosswind or headwind made the landing conditions relatively straightforward, but the misaligned touchdown and rollout positions still pose a concern.
Overall, while the ATR 72 aircraft performed well during the landing, there are areas that require improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a straight course during the touchdown and rollout phases.
