Improve the rollout
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.
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 1,780 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,780 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 305 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 03 at KGTF Great Falls International Airport, covering 2 nm in 9 minutes to reach the runway. The takeoff distance was 1,657 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 kt, with a local temperature of 10 °C and wind conditions of 4 kt at 150 °. The crosswind was 4 kt, while the tailwind was 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile west of Great Falls and reached an altitude of 34,976 ft asl, increasing by 30,467 ft in 10 minutes and covering 111 nm. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise that began 16 miles south east of MT79 Sand Creek Wildlife Station Airport Roy and lasted for 22 minutes, covering 523 nm.
The enroute descent started 6 miles north of 00MN Battle Lake Municipal Airport Battle Lake and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 34,985 ft asl to 2,142 ft asl, a decrease of 32,843 ft. The descent covered 136 nm.
The final approach to runway 12L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the north west, with a heading of 121.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft agl. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 303 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 130 kt, and the touchdown rate was firm at -394 fpm.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 °C and wind of 3 kt at 150 °, with a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 3 kt.
The total flight distance was 779 nm, and the flight duration was 59 minutes. The aircraft used 2,275 kg of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 12L was initiated from the northwest, heading 121.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target at 130 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 126 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 303 meters was considered good, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown rate was firm at -394 feet per minute, suggesting a smooth transition from the air to the ground.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,696 meters was 70% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, suggesting a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing, with a good score and a well-executed approach and touchdown. However, there were some minor issues with alignment and speed control that may be addressed in future training or operations.
