Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 13°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 212 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 34R at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport, covering 40% of the runway's length in a takeoff distance of 1,481 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 270°, resulting in a 10-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
After a 10-minute taxiing period, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 144 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 5,174 feet above sea level to 32,912 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,737 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 21 miles west of Locomotive Springs, Utah, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 514 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles southeast of Seattle, Washington, and descended from 31,943 feet above sea level to 3,760 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,183 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles southeast of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 3 miles east of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, and descended from 3,808 feet above sea level to 1,256 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,552 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at CYVR Vancouver International Airport was made from the east, heading 280.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,229 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 2,803 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target at 141 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 211 meters. However, the touchdown speed was fast at 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 290°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 20-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,152 meters, which was 41% of the runway's length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 714 nautical miles, taking 63 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,736 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 26R, achieving a score of 95.1%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 280.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 141 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 211 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly over-controlled during the approach. The touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. Despite this, the aircraft's rollout alignment was only slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 20 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly faster touchdown speed. The total landing distance of 1,152 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
