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.

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 2,625 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 2,625 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 532 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Just Flight RJ100 British Airways aircraft, departing from Portland International Airport (KPDX) and landing at Sacramento International Airport (KSMF). The taxiing from the parking to the runway took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft began its departure roll on runway 10L, it took off with a takeoff distance of 919 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 90°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Maywood Park, Oregon, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,068 feet above sea level to 30,795 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,728 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles southeast of Crescent Lake State Airport (5S2) and lasted 7 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 30,920 feet above sea level to 28,841 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,079 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles southeast of Chiloquin and lasted 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 28,617 feet above sea level to 27,907 feet above sea level, a decrease of 710 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles north of Klamath Falls and lasted 4 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its climb from 28,519 feet above sea level to 30,929 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,410 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Burney and lasted 9 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 30,978 feet above sea level to 3,216 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,762 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Clarksburg and lasted 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 2,513 feet above sea level to 1,571 feet above sea level, a decrease of 942 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Sacramento Executive Airport (KSAC) and lasted 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 35L at Sacramento International Airport from the south, heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35L was successful, with a touchdown point 110 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -239 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 340°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance
The aircraft, a British Airways RJ100, successfully landed at Sacramento International Airport's runway 35L. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 117 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 110 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 115 knots. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat fair at -239 feet per minute, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance was 2,645 meters, which was 101% of the runway length, indicating a slightly longer than average landing distance.
One area for improvement was noted during the rollout phase, where the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was misaligned by 22.6 meters. This suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout, potentially due to the aircraft's speed or the pilot's control inputs. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and rollout alignment.
