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 1,684 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,684 m of the 2,430 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 245 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Embraer E175 started with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The departure was from runway 12R, with a takeoff distance of 1,080 meters, covering 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 4°C with a 4-knot wind coming from 139°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind.
The enroute climb began 1 mile southeast of KMSP, climbing from 1,742 feet above sea level to 31,043 feet, covering 87 nautical miles in 11 minutes. The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Ettrick, lasting 20 minutes and covering 355 miles. The enroute descent commenced 1 mile south of 13OH Rose Field Jewell, descending from 31,268 feet to 2,038 feet in 20 minutes over a distance of 98 miles.
The final approach to runway 10L at KCMH John Glenn Columbus International Airport was from the west, heading at 94.0° at 4 miles and 1,210 feet above ground level. The landing was successfully executed on runway 10L, with a length of 2,430 meters. The threshold speed was good at 126 knots, with a touch down distance of 247 meters and a slightly fast touchdown speed of 122 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute, with a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance was 1,603 meters, covering 66% of the runway, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. The taxi from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 549 nautical miles, taking 64 minutes and consuming 1,860 kilograms of fuel. The local weather at the time of landing was 7°C with a 4-knot wind from 160°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
Congratulations on achieving a remarkable aircraft landing score of 99.7%! Let's dig deeper into each phase of the landing to fully understand what contributed to this impressive performance.
During the Approach Phase, the glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating precise navigation and decision-making by the pilot. Additionally, the threshold speed of 126 knots was well within the recommended range, showing a good grasp of speed control and aircraft handling. Both of these factors likely contributed to a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that the threshold height was good, indicating proper altitude management. The perfect landing flare demonstrates a high level of skill and finesse in executing the final moments before touchdown. This phase is critical in ensuring a smooth and safe landing, and your performance here was certainly top-notch.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute was fair, indicating a decent descent speed at the moment of touchdown. While the touchdown speed of 122 knots was slightly fast, it's worth noting that the touchdown distance of 247 meters was good, suggesting a well-timed and controlled touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, further highlighting your proficiency in aircraft control during this crucial phase of the landing.
Overall, your attention to detail and precise execution in each phase of the landing clearly paid off, resulting in an outstanding landing score. Keep up the great work, and continue to hone your skills to strive for even greater consistency and excellence in future landings. Well done!
