Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 7.7° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 59 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 14L at Grant County International Airport (KMWH). The CRJ900 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 2,693 meters, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Moses Lake North (Washington, United States) from an altitude of 2,165 feet above sea level (asl) to 9,401 ft asl, an increase of 7,236 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile south of 2S4 New Warden Warden (Washington, United States) and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 7 miles south of Prescott (Washington, United States) from an altitude of 9,339 ft asl to 4,975 ft asl, a decrease of 4,363 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time overhead 9OR4 King's Airport Milton/Freewater (Oregon, United States), lasting for 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started again 1 mile south west of 9W2 Page Walla Walla (Washington, United States) from an altitude of 4,795 ft asl to 3,894 ft asl, a decrease of 902 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time 2 miles west of Garrett (Washington, United States), lasting for 4 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at Walla Walla Regional Airport (KALW) was made from the south west, heading 34.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,599 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 02, which had a length of 1,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 124 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 57 meters, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -739 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 90 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,121 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 106 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 2,256 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KALW Walla Walla Regional Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.3%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 34.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,599 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 02, which has a length of 1,986 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 124 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 57 meters, and the touchdown speed of 122 knots was also within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was quite heavy at -739 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, being off by 14.5 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 25°C, a wind speed of 7 knots at 90°, and a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,121 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned with the centerline by 12.9 meters, which may indicate some issues with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown rate and runway alignment.
