Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 9.9 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 9.9 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,593 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 188 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 32 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,070 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 127 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Warwick, Rhode Island, and ascended from an altitude of 1,122 feet above sea level to 19,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,877 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Brimfield, Massachusetts, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile southwest of Cheshire, Massachusetts, and the aircraft descended from 19,445 feet above sea level to 1,850 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,595 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at KALB Albany International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 180.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,553 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 602 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 113 knots. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.4 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -8°C. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 140 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 106 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at KALB Albany International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,553 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 2,593 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 113 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 188 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 108 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -312 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's approach technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -8°C. Despite these conditions, the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently. The total landing distance of 602 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely and efficiently. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position may require some adjustments to the pilot's approach technique to improve the accuracy of the landing.
