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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,114 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 22 at Le Havre-Octeville Airport (LFOH), with a takeoff distance of 1,216 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Sainte-Adresse in Normandie, France, where the aircraft began its ascent from 1,349 feet above sea level to 30,479 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,129 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 29,977 feet above sea level to 2,349 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,629 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile northwest of Fitzwilliam in the City and Borough of Wakefield, England.
Following the descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 4 miles east of Blyth in Northumberland, England, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at Newcastle Airport (EGNT) was made from the northeast, heading 245.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 at EGNT was successful, with a touchdown distance of 381 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 98 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 280°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 801 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 354 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,582 kilograms.
The RJ85 aircraft successfully landed at EGNT Newcastle Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 110 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 381 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 98 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 280°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the aircraft was able to handle effectively. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The total landing distance of 801 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
