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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,693 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,693 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 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 Minot International Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 13, with a takeoff distance of 1,223 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -12°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Minot, and climbed from an altitude of 2,691 feet above sea level to 33,736 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,044 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 11 miles northeast of the Reimers Airport in Carrington, North Dakota, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 177 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of the Clarissa Municipal Airport in Browerville, Minnesota, and descended from an altitude of 33,492 feet above sea level to 3,596 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,896 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 3 miles northwest of Hastings, Minnesota, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead the Winner's Landing Seaplane Base in St. Paul Park, Minnesota, and descended from an altitude of 3,619 feet above sea level to 2,096 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,524 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30R at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30R, which had a length of 2,432 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was too high at 148 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 443 meters, but the touchdown speed of 140 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 319°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,609 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 420 nautical miles, taking 50 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,563 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) on runway 30R, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 148 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 443 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was faster than ideal, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.6 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of -10°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots from 319°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 17 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during touchdown.
Despite the slight misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. The total landing distance of 1,609 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the wind conditions and the aircraft's performance.
Overall, the Embraer E175's landing at KMSP was successful, with a good touchdown distance and a smooth rollout. However, there is room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and touchdown speed to achieve a more ideal landing performance.
