Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,184 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 93 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 15 at KBTM Bert Mooney Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,555 meters, which was 93% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 2 miles south of KBTM Bert Mooney Airport, reaching an altitude of 31,878 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,409 feet from the initial altitude of 6,469 feet. This climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 14 miles east of Dell Flight Strip, lasting 5 minutes and covering 32 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 17 miles northeast of Dubois, Idaho, and took 22 minutes to descend from 32,146 feet to 6,439 feet, a decrease of 25,707 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 119 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04 at KCOD Yellowstone Regional Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 51.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 94 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -575 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 350 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,188 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 234 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,273 kilograms.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KCOD Yellowstone Regional Airport, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 51.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 2,184 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 138 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly higher than desired, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast on touchdown. The touchdown rate of -575 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly hard, which could be a concern for the aircraft's landing gear and overall safety.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from 350°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,188 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal drag or other factors affecting its descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase and did not deviate significantly from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate are areas that may require attention to ensure the aircraft's safety and performance during future landings.
