Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 0.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,100 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 454 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 737-800 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking only 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 30 at PAKN King Salmon Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,180 m, representing 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 kt. The local weather at the time of departure was 19 °C, with a 6 kt wind coming from 249 ° resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The enroute climb commenced overhead King Salmon, Alaska, with the aircraft climbing from 1,116 ft asl to 38,608 ft asl, an increase of 37,492 ft over 44 minutes and covering 281 nm. The level cruise phase began 44 miles southwest of PAMD Middleton Island Airport Middleton Island, Alaska, lasting 60 minutes and covering a distance of 1,130 nm.
The enroute descent was initiated 6 miles northeast of CER3 Drayton Valley Industrial Airport Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from 38,899 ft asl to 3,665 ft asl, a decrease of 35,234 ft over 10 minutes and covering 51 nm. The final approach to runway 30 at CYEG Edmonton International Airport was from the southeast, heading 314.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,312 ft agl.
The landing on runway 30 at CYEG Edmonton International Airport was smooth, with a runway length of 3,100 m. The threshold height and speed were good at 138 kt. The touchdown distance was also good at 454 m, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt and a fair touchdown rate of -217 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather at the time of landing was 16 °C, with a 3 kt wind coming from 290 °, resulting in a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total landing distance was 963 m, representing 31% of the runway length, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. Finally, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 1,469 nm, taking 120 minutes and consuming 9,297 kg of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at PAJN Juneau International Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 102.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,761 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 2,567 meters.
However, the landing was not perfectly executed. The threshold height at 136 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 157 knots, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes.
Despite these issues, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -355 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 444 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which could have resulted in a longer rollout distance and increased the risk of overrunning the runway.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.4 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging and increased the risk of veering off the runway. The local weather conditions were not particularly challenging, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind of 15 knots at 110°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which could have helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,452 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 23.4 meters from the centerline, which could have made it more difficult for the pilots to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilots were able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground, despite the challenges they faced. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more precise approach and touchdown, and aligning the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
