Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 5.4 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 1.7°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
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.
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 2,440 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 435 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 28 at KMGM Montgomery Regional (Dannelly Field) Airport. The takeoff distance was 818 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was also 14 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,245 feet above sea level to 18,521 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,276 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Fayetteville, Alabama. This phase lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 115 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 2 miles southwest of KFYM Fayetteville Municipal Airport. The descent from 19,003 feet above sea level to 14,042 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,962 feet, took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of 8TN2 Pleasant Grove Airpark in Shelbyville, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 2 miles north of Unionville, Tennessee. The descent from 14,002 feet above sea level to 12,496 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,506 feet, took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Smyrna, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 3 miles northeast of La Vergne, Tennessee. The descent from 12,510 feet above sea level to 1,890 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,619 feet, took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport was made from the north, heading 198.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 20L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 434 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 96 knots, and the touchdown rate was -163 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 735 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 269 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used 813 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The final approach to runway 20L was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 96 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 434 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired parameters, signifying a gentle and stable touchdown.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 111 kt, which may indicate a slight overcorrection by the pilots. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline, although this deviation was relatively minor.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 13 kt from 209°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 13 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 735 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight loss of control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the ATR 72 aircraft at KBNA Nashville International Airport was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown phases, although there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and speed control.
