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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,791 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 214 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the RJ85 CityJet aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Lyon Bron Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 34, with a takeoff distance of 1,412 meters, which was 116% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 169 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 18 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north-east of Bron, with the aircraft ascending from 1,672 feet above sea level to 29,381 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,709 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Pontaumur, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles. The next enroute climb phase began 1 mile west of Champnetery, with the aircraft ascending from 29,440 feet above sea level to 31,469 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,029 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Roumazieres-Loubert, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering 126 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 2 miles south of Cordemais, with the aircraft descending from 31,418 feet above sea level to 23,557 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,861 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Nivillac, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The next enroute descent phase began 1 mile south-west of Saint-Jean-Brevelay, with the aircraft descending from 23,519 feet above sea level to 17,560 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,958 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Bubry, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The next enroute descent phase began 1 mile east of Querrien, with the aircraft descending from 17,550 feet above sea level to 2,949 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,601 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Saint-Servais, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07R at Brest Bretagne Airport began from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at 71.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,726 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 07R, with a runway length of 2,791 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 100 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 212 meters, and the touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -546 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 821 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 445 nautical miles, taking 91 minutes, and the
The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, successfully landed at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach to runway 07R was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,726 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 96 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 212 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was quite high at -546 feet per minute, which may indicate a slightly hard landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 218°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward.
The total landing distance of 821 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases.
