Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,761 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,761 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 453 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Embraer E175 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Chicago Midway International Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 22L, with a takeoff distance of 982 meters, which was 61% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind of 9 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,673 feet above sea level to 28,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,332 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile west of Thompson Airport, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 228 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles northwest of Northwood, Iowa, and descended from 28,001 feet above sea level to 3,938 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,063 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles southwest of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Medicine Lake, Minnesota, and descended from 3,911 feet above sea level to 2,210 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,701 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12L at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 121.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,359 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,684 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -257 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind of 5 knots at 80 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total flight distance was 412 nautical miles, and the flight took 50 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,863 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach to runway 12L was initiated from the northwest, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,359 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 143 knots, which was significantly above the target threshold speed. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed during the final approach. The touchdown distance of 455 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy and position it correctly on the runway.
However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a higher touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers and may require additional control inputs from the pilot to maintain stability.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.4 meters, which may require additional correction from the pilot during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 80°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,684 meters was 69% of the available runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed and position to maintain a safe distance from the end of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.4 meters, which may require additional correction from the pilot to maintain a straight course.
Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, with a score of 95.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the desired performance, the pilot's skills and control over the aircraft ensured a safe and successful landing.
