Maintain the centreline
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,731 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,731 m of the 2,497 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 816 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 06 at the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport (KSGH). The takeoff distance was 1,810 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles northeast of the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport, rising from an altitude of 2,086 feet above sea level to 17,446 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of the Parknavy Airport (0OH9) in Plain City, Ohio. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles south of Kidron, Ohio, descending from 17,462 feet above sea level to 2,865 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase 2 miles northwest of the Gay Airport (93OH) in Atwater, Ohio, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at the Akron Canton Regional Airport (KCAK) was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 228.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,389 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the touchdown point being 397 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was within the target range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 240 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,647 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 155 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,093 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KCAK Akron Canton Regional Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach was conducted from the northeast, heading 228.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,389 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 2,497 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots. The touchdown point was 397 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly short of the intended location. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance was 1,647 meters, which is 66% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe braking and deceleration. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown point accuracy.
