Maintain the centreline
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.

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 1,635 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 35 at KMPV Edward F Knapp State Airport. The takeoff distance was 760 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 122 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft successfully took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead KMPV Edward F Knapp State Airport. The climb from 1,990 feet above sea level to 6,395 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,406 feet, was achieved in 3 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The cruise was initiated 1 mile south west of South Barre, Vermont. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 6,395 feet above sea level to 11,953 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,558 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles. The second level cruise started 5 miles south east of Chelsea, Vermont, and lasted 9 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 11,996 feet above sea level to 2,557 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,439 feet, in 8 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles. The descent started 3 miles south of Andover, New Hampshire. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles, initiated 2 miles north of Auburn, New Hampshire.
The final approach to runway 35 at KCON Concord Municipal Airport was made from the south east, heading 334.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 421 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 103 knots, and the touchdown rate was -158 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 798 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 100 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes. The aircraft used 445 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at Concord Municipal Airport (KCON) on runway 35, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 334.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 112 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 421 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 103 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a gentle and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, achieving a total landing distance of 798 meters, which was 49% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a stable and aligned departure from the runway. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
