The flight from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (LYBE) to Sofia Airport (LBSF) was conducted by an ATR 72 aircraft. The pre-flight preparation and taxiing to the runway took 15 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles to reach the runway 30 for departure. At 36% of the runway length, the aircraft began its departure roll, and with a takeoff distance of 1,069 meters, it achieved liftoff at a speed of 129 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure consisted of a temperature of 14°C, wind blowing at 4 knots from 19°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. Following a smooth takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb north of Dobanovci in Central Serbia, increasing its altitude from 1,265 feet to 18,745 feet in 17 minutes, while covering 54 nautical miles. The enroute climb took the aircraft over the city of Kragujevac, Serbia, where it continued its ascent to a higher altitude.
Upon reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. As the plane headed towards its destination, it began its enroute descent near Dragoman, Bulgaria, with a significant decrease in altitude from 18,994 feet to 3,887 feet in only 10 minutes, while covering 46 nautical miles. The descent continued until the aircraft reached a level cruise once again, this time north of Lesnovo Airfield, Bulgaria, before commencing its final approach to Sofia Airport.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl) to touch down on runway 27 at LBSF Sofia Airport. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, wind blowing at 8 knots from 280°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. Despite the moderate crosswind, the aircraft landed successfully, with a touchdown point 265 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 104 knots, indicating a slightly higher speed than the target threshold speed, and the touchdown rate was fair at -251 feet per minute.
Following a smooth landing, the aircraft rolled out to the end of the runway, covering a distance of 984 meters or 27% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.1 meters, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 219 nautical miles, taking a total of 69 minutes, and consuming 616 kilograms of fuel. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

A comprehensive analysis of the ATR 72 aircraft's landing at Sofia Airport (LBSF) was conducted, with a score of 92.6% indicating a near-perfect landing. The aircraft initiated the final approach to Runway 27 from an eastern heading of 274.0° at 4 nautical miles (nm) and 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). This was a suitable initial approach path given the aircraft's approach speed and the runway's overall length of 3,588 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 119 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. The touchdown point was positioned 265 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-correcting or misjudgment of the landing distance during the approach. However, the actual touchdown speed of 104 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute (fpm) was evaluated as fair.
The approach was conducted under local weather conditions of 12° C and a moderate headwind of 8 kt at 280°. The crosswind was negligible at 1 kt, with the headwind providing a slight assist in the landing process. This suggests that the pilots had a favorable wind condition to execute a stable approach.
Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. This suggests that the pilot had a firm control over the aircraft during the landing phase and was able to maintain a steady heading throughout the rollout phase.
The total landing distance covered was 984 meters, which is approximately 27% of the runway length. This indicates a relatively efficient landing, considering the aircraft's weight, approach speed, and overall performance during the landing. Overall, the analysis indicates a proficient and controlled landing by the pilots of the ATR 72 aircraft, despite a few minor discrepancies during the touchdown phase.
