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 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so the speed is back to 100 kt before the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: Speed was still fast at the stabilisation gate, and crossing the threshold 22 kt above target usually carries a fast touchdown with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 100 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit and speed 75 kt FAST on the reference speed of 100 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 36 kt FAST on the reference speed of 100 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,444 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 315 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The ATR-72 taxied from the parking area to runway 10 at TTPP Piarco International Airport in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 125 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,586 m, which represented 50 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 30 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 110°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 2 mi south of Arima, with the airplane rising from 1,068 ft asl to 7,066 ft asl, an altitude gain of 5,997 ft achieved in 5 minutes while covering 13 nm.
The level cruise segment began 9 mi north-east of Arima and lasted 3 minutes, during which the aircraft flew another 13 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent started 18 mi south-west of TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, with a reduction from 7,259 ft asl to 1,328 ft asl, a loss of 5,931 ft over 5 minutes and a distance of 19 nm.
On final approach to runway 11 at TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, the aircraft approached from the west on a heading of 90.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl.
Landing on runway 11 was executed with a threshold speed of 122 kt; touchdown occurred at 316 m down the runway with a speed of 114 kt, a vertical rate of minus 106 fpm, and a lateral offset of 5.2 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 575 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and local conditions were 27 °C, wind 11 kt from 85°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and an 11 kt head-wind.
Runway rollout was described as very good, with the aircraft remaining aligned throughout the deceleration phase after touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 55 nm, took 22 (units as given), and consumed 306 kg of fuel.
The aircraft approached runway 11 from the west on a heading of 90.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl, with ambient temperature 27 °C, wind 11 kt from 85 ° (headwind component 11 kt, cross-wind component 2 kt).
At threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 122 kt.
Touchdown occurred 316 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a touchdown speed of 114 kt that was fast. The vertical rate was smooth at minus 106 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 575 m, representing 24 % of the 2,444 m runway.
Rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the threshold speed to bring the approach within the target range and manage the touchdown speed to be closer to the intended VREF, which will further improve the landing profile while preserving the already excellent alignment and rollout.
