Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

Departing from McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated down the 2,439-meter runway, achieving liftoff at a speed of 130 knots. The takeoff distance of 772 meters represented 29% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a 9-knot headwind from a direction of 220°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Alcoa, Tennessee, at an altitude of 1,902 feet above sea level. Over the course of 5 minutes, the aircraft ascended to 17,303 feet, a vertical gain of 15,401 feet, while covering a horizontal distance of 24 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, commencing 4 miles southeast of Seymour, Tennessee, and lasting 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 12 nautical miles. The descent phase began 5 miles south of Dandridge, Tennessee, and saw the aircraft descend from 17,334 feet to 3,761 feet over a distance of 56 nautical miles in 10 minutes. A second enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile northwest of Oak Grove, Tennessee, and lasted 5 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached Tri-Cities Regional TN/VA Airport (KTRI), it began its final approach to runway 23 from the northeast, heading 222.0° at an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was made on the 2,439-meter runway, with the touchdown point located 269 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, while the touchdown rate of -84 feet per minute was excellent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off by 14.4 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 5 minutes, and used a total of 591 kilograms of fuel for the 123-nautical-mile flight, which lasted 32 minutes.

Landing Summary

The approach to runway 23 at KTRI Tri-Cities Regional TN/VA Airport was initiated from the north east, heading 222.0° at 4 nm and 1,269 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a stable descent throughout the approach, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 144 kt, indicating a potential for a long rollout.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down 269 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 131 kt, which was too fast. The touchdown rate of -84 fpm was excellent, demonstrating good control and precision. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.2 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the long rollout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a light wind of 6 kt at 280°, did not significantly impact the approach or landing.

The total landing distance of 1,502 m was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.4 m from the centreline, further contributing to the overall score of 86.2%. Overall, while the approach and landing were stable, there were several areas for improvement, including the threshold speed, touchdown speed, and centreline alignment.
