The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at EFMA Mariehamn Airport. The aircraft, an ATR 72, required a takeoff distance of 858 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 119 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 144 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 21, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 256 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind maneuver was completed in under 1 nautical mile in just 19 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 12.3 degrees.

The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 332.0 degrees at an altitude of 950 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a runway length of 1,893 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was achieved at 111 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, at 246 meters, and the touchdown speed was 105 knots, which was within acceptable limits.

However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -423 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.7 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 5 nautical miles, taking approximately 3 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 33 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 03 at EFMA Mariehamn Airport in the ATR 72

Landing Score 93.86 %

Landing Summary

The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at EFMA Mariehamn Airport, achieving a score of 93.9%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 332.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 950 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 111 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 246 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively before touching down on the runway.

However, the touchdown speed of 105 knots was slightly lower than the expected speed, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -423 feet per minute (fpm). A hard touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft is touching down too quickly, which can put excessive stress on the landing gear and potentially lead to damage.

In terms of runway alignment, the aircraft touched down slightly off-centerline, deviating by 4.7 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to the crosswind component of 9 knots, which was blowing from the left side of the aircraft. The pilots may have had to compensate for the crosswind by adjusting the aircraft's heading, which could have resulted in the slight deviation from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilots, but they were able to manage the aircraft effectively and achieve a successful landing.
