MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 4.8°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 390 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Embraer E175 began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 10L, utilizing 1,325 meters, or 34% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 146 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 24 knots at a direction of 20°, resulting in a crosswind of 23 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 122 nautical miles, increasing its altitude by 33,432 feet in 10 minutes. The climb phase concluded overhead Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises, with the first lasting 12 minutes and covering 363 nautical miles, 4 miles east of Bronson, Michigan. The subsequent level cruises, which occurred near Oval, Pennsylvania, Bowmanstown, Pennsylvania, New Dorp Beach, New York, and Ardsley, New York, collectively contributed to the aircraft's overall distance of 680 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at LaGuardia Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending from 3,760 feet above sea level to 1,361 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 127 knots, slightly above the target speed, and a touchdown distance of 391 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total fuel consumption of 2,258 kilograms.
The Embraer E175 aircraft touched down on runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 391 meters was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 127 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -352 fpm.
The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 2 kt. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a headwind of 14 kt, were generally favorable for the landing. The pilots' ability to maintain control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases was evident in the good rollout alignment, which was very close to the centreline.
Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft achieved a high score of 97.4% for the landing, with the only notable deviations being the slightly above-target threshold speed and the firm touchdown rate. The pilots' performance and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well-suited to the challenging conditions at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
