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.

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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with a short taxiing process from the parking to the runway at LRCK Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport, a Romanian airport. The journey took approximately three minutes and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to takeoff from runway 36, starting with a departure roll.
During takeoff, the aircraft utilized 33% of the 1,138-meter runway and achieved liftoff at a speed of 141 knots. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 22 °C, a wind speed of 15 knots coming from 329 °, and moderate crosswind and headwind components.
Following a successful takeoff, the aircraft entered an enroute climb phase, rising from an initial altitude of 1,364 feet above sea level to a maximum of 30,414 feet, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles in 21 minutes. The climb phase concluded at a point 2 miles south-east of Gornet-Cricov, located in Prahova, Romania.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting approximately 74 minutes and covering 553 nautical miles. This period of the flight enabled the aircraft to maintain a stable altitude and traverse a significant distance over Romania and Austria.
In a short enroute climb phase, the aircraft gained 2,082 feet in mere 3 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles. Following this climb phase, the aircraft descended over Bad Muenstereifel in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
In the subsequent descent phase, the aircraft covered 86 nautical miles while decreasing 31,418 feet in just 18 minutes, eventually touching down at EBBR Brussels Airport. This descent phase set the stage for the final approach to runway 25R.
The final approach was initiated from a northeasterly direction, heading 246.0 ° at a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft descended, the wind conditions and temperature became less favorable, but the crew efficiently handled these changes.
A successful landing occurred on runway 25R, a 3,075-meter-long runway, resulting in a touchdown point located 46 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 109 knots and touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute were both satisfactory. Moreover, the runway alignment was perfect.
Following the landing, the aircraft underwent a short taxiing process to the parking area, which again took approximately three minutes and covered less than one nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,038 nautical miles, which was covered within a duration of 141 minutes. Notably, the aircraft consumed 6,882 kilograms of fuel throughout the flight.
The recent landing of the RJ85 aircraft at Brussels Airport has been deemed a success, with a score of 98.6% achieved. The aircraft was approaching runway 25R from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,215 feet above ground level. The final approach was completed, resulting in a smooth landing on the designated runway.
The conditions during the landing were favorable, with the runway length being 3,075 meters and a good threshold height. The pilot, however, reported that the threshold speed was slightly above the target of 122 kt. The actual touchdown point was located 46 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but this was well within the expected limits. The touchdown speed of 109 kt and the resulting touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute were both considered good and within acceptable parameters.
The local weather was calm, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 9 kt at an angle of 229°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind of 3 kt and a beneficial headwind of 9 kt, ultimately contributing to a successful landing.
The total landing distance covered was 1,020 meters, which represents just 33% of the runway length. This suggests that the pilot maintained optimal control throughout the descent and landing phases. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating exceptional pilot finesse and adherence to standard operating procedures.
Overall, this landing was characterized by its precision, control, and favorable weather conditions, resulting in a highly successful operation that showcases the capabilities of the RJ85 aircraft and its skilled pilots.
