Departing from Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis, the ATR 72 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 07, it was met with a local temperature of 30 °C and a wind of 16 kt at 100 °, resulting in a crosswind of 11 kt and a headwind of 12 kt.

After a successful departure roll, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 118 kt, using only 31% of the available runway length of 687 m. The enroute climb phase began as the aircraft ascended from 1,074 ft above sea level to 7,198 ft, a vertical increase of 6,124 ft in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards V C Bird International Airport in Antigua and Barbuda. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 7,264 ft to 1,435 ft in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the airport, it aligned itself with runway 07, heading 59.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,386 ft above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target, at 113 kt, and a touchdown speed of 102 kt, which was slightly faster than desired. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -44 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,697 m, or 67% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 62 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 324 kg of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 26 minutes.

Landing on runway 07 at TAPA V C Bird International Airport in the ATR 72

Landing Score 96.6 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 07 at TAPA V C Bird International Airport from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 59.0° at 4 nm and 1,386 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 113 kt, which may have been a result of the aircraft's weight or configuration.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it was noted that the touchdown point was 209 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 102 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -44 fpm was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and stability. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 120°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,697 m was 67% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 96.6%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
