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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,103 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 654 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the RJ85 CityJet aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KRNO Reno Tahoe International Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 17R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 41% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,135 meters, and the liftoff speed was 127 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with no wind at all. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KRNO and rising from an altitude of 5,433 feet above sea level to 26,304 feet, an increase of 20,871 feet in just 15 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 91 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 12 miles west of O24 Lee Vining and lasting 7 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 27,118 feet to 30,309 feet, an increase of 3,191 feet in 7 minutes, covering 46 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft entered a descent phase, starting 12 miles east of Shaver Lake and descending from 30,193 feet to 29,392 feet, a decrease of 801 feet in 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 11 miles northeast of 77CL Baker and lasting 16 minutes, covering 122 nautical miles.
The next descent phase began overhead L00 Rosamond, with the aircraft descending from 28,353 feet to 3,427 feet, a decrease of 24,926 feet in 15 minutes, covering 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles north of Walnut and lasting 5 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at KONT Ontario International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 89.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with the touchdown point being 228 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 94 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -358 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 246 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 6 knots. The total flight distance was 347 nautical miles, and the flight took 65 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,251 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, successfully landed at KONT Ontario International Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to runway 08R was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 112 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 228 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 94 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -358 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 246°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
