See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,127 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,127 m of the 3,237 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 729 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the RJ100 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KILN Wilmington Airpark, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 04L, with a takeoff distance of 1,115 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 125 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KILN, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and winds of 4 knots at 201 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airpark, with the aircraft ascending from 2,074 feet above sea level to 28,213 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,139 feet in 11 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, Ohio, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb 1 mile south of OH34 Leis Airport Ansonia, ascending from 28,541 feet to 30,747 feet, an increase of 2,205 feet in 3 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile west of KPLD Portland Municipal Airport, lasting for 14 minutes and covering 92 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 1 mile northwest of IN87 Singleton's Landing Strip Knox, descending from 30,718 feet to 2,275 feet, a decrease of 28,443 feet in 15 minutes and covering 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again overhead Lincoln Square, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,225 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 27C, which was 3,237 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 117 knots. The touchdown point was 302 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 105 knots and a touchdown rate of -37 feet per minute, which was perfect.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, and the local weather conditions were 28°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,035 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline.
The flight concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 245 nautical miles, taking 57 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,875 kilograms of fuel.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 105 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 117 kt. The touchdown point was 302 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing position. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both perfect, with a rate of -37 feet per minute (fpm), which is ideal for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 170°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,035 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal alignment. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing was considered successful, with a score of 90.9%.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout. However, there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown point accuracy.
