Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 138 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 144 kt, 6 kt above the 138 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 138 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,375 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 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 area to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 21R at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, also known as KDTW. The takeoff distance was 1,834 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of KDTW. The climb started from an altitude of 1,644 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 38,531 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,886 feet in 15 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 180 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of the Chautauqua County-Jamestown Airport, also known as KJHW. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 193 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 4 miles north of the Boonville Inc Airport, also known as 1NK7. The descent started from an altitude of 38,353 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 1,596 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,757 feet in 15 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at the Burlington International Airport, also known as KBTV, was made from the northwest, heading 131.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 2,375 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 325 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -199 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 80 degrees, a crosswind of 3 knots, and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,205 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 487 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,182 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KBTV Burlington International Airport, achieving a score of 99.4%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 131.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 2,375 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. This may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance was good at 325 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing.
However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate of -199 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance was 1,205 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the CRJ900 aircraft performed well during the landing at KBTV Burlington International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing performance, the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing, resulting in a safe and successful touchdown.
