The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at TAPA V C Bird International Airport took approximately 10 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The ATR 72 aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 07, utilizing 421 meters, or 17% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 124 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 10 knots at 120 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of TAPA V C Bird International Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 8,325 feet above sea level in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The climb started at an initial altitude of 1,041 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 7,285 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles, 14 miles south of English Harbour Town. The cruise phase was followed by an enroute descent, initiated 6 miles northwest of Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe, where the aircraft descended from 8,321 feet to 1,757 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at TFFR Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 99.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,732 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the threshold speed exceeding the target at 113 knots. The total flight distance was 68 nautical miles, taking approximately 33 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 350 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The approach to runway 12 at TFFR Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft established on a heading of 99.0° at 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,732 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a stable and consistent descent profile maintained throughout the final stages of the approach. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a height of 1,200 feet, slightly above the target threshold height, but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with the aircraft's main landing gear making contact with the runway at a speed of 113 knots, significantly above the target threshold speed of 95 knots. However, this resulted in a slightly longer rollout, which was managed by the pilots to maintain centreline alignment. The aircraft remained aligned with the centreline throughout the rollout, with a slight deviation of 2.5° noted at the end of the rollout. The aircraft came to a stop at a distance of 1,500 feet from the threshold, within the acceptable limits.
The overall performance of the approach and landing was satisfactory, with a score of 86.7% awarded. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing. The aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected standards for the ATR 72, and the pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to manage the aircraft safely and efficiently.
