As the aircraft climbed out, it faced local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and winds of 4 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were 4 knots and 2 knots, respectively. After taking off from KFOD Fort Dodge Regional Airport, the enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of the airport and ended at 30,370 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles and taking 14 minutes to climb from 2,015 feet to 30,370 feet.

During the climb, the aircraft experienced a significant increase in altitude, reaching an elevation of 28,355 feet. The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile northwest of Lake Park in Iowa and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, the enroute descent phase began 3 miles north of The Lakes in Minnesota and concluded at 3,070 feet above sea level, decreasing the altitude by 26,583 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started again 7 miles northeast of Castlewood in South Dakota and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. Upon reaching the destination airport, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 17 at Watertown Regional Airport from the north, flying at a heading of 176.0 degrees and 1,086 feet above ground level. The local weather at the destination airport was characterized by a temperature of 16°C and winds of 7 knots at 105 degrees.

The landing on runway 17 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots, which met the threshold speed requirements. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 229 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. Despite the misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance covered 63% of the runway length.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 5 minutes. The total flight distance was 203 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 52 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,983 kilograms.

Landing on runway 17 at KATY Watertown Regional Airport in the CRJ900
Landing Score 97.17 %
Landing Summary

This is a comprehensive report on the final approach and landing of the Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) 900 aircraft at Watertown Regional Airport (KATY). The flight crew achieved a final approach score of 97.2%, demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control during the critical phases of flight.

The approach was conducted from the north, with a heading of 176.0° and an altitude of 1,086 feet above ground level (AGL). At a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway, the aircraft was at a suitable altitude for the final approach. The crew successfully landed on runway 17, which has a length of 2,098 meters.

One notable aspect of the landing was the good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct point along the runway. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots, suggesting that the crew applied the appropriate amount of reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down. The touchdown distance of 229 meters was also within acceptable limits.

However, there was a minor issue with the runway touchdown position, as the aircraft landed 3.1 meters away from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the runway alignment.

Weather conditions played a minor role in the landing, with a moderate temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 7 knots from 105°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, but this was partially offset by a 2-knot headwind, reducing the impact on the approach.

The total landing distance of 1,315 meters was within 63% of the available runway length, indicating a satisfactory stopping distance. The runway rollout alignment was impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment along the length of the runway.

Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and control from the flight crew, with only minor issues to address in terms of runway alignment and touchdown position.
