See Departure Roll
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.

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.
The 368 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at Maurice Bishop International Airport, TGPY. The ATR 72 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering 45% of its length, before lifting off into the air at a speed of 123 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 4 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a tailwind of 4 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,007 ft above sea level to 1,713 ft above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by a period of level cruise, which lasted for 17 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nm, as the aircraft flew 3 miles south east of Saint George's, Grenada.
The enroute descent phase of the flight began 8 miles west of the airport, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,856 ft above sea level to 1,135 ft above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. The final approach to runway 10 at Maurice Bishop International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 95.0 ° and an altitude of 1,058 ft above ground level, 4 nm from the runway.
The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 124 kt, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, at 365 m, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 715 m, which was 26% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
The flight was completed with a total distance of 24 nm, taking 23 minutes to cover this distance, and used 15 kg of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 4 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a tailwind of 4 kt.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at TGPY Maurice Bishop International Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 95.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,058 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 365 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 715 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
