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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five 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 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began at London City Airport, where the Embraer E190 aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft taking off after covering 85% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,137 meters, and the liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft departed London City Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 110 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Abbey Wood in Greater London, England. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 801 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 32,793 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,991 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 3 miles west of Dunford Bridge in Barnsley, England. This phase lasted for 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 3 miles west of Dunford Bridge, from an altitude of 32,846 feet above sea level to 36,070 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,224 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered a descent phase, starting 1 mile south east of Austwick in North Yorkshire, England. The descent took place from an altitude of 36,090 feet above sea level to 24,737 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,353 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south west of Cumwhinton in Cumbria, England, lasting for 18 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began its final descent phase, starting 1 mile south west of Cumwhinton, from an altitude of 24,737 feet above sea level to 1,405 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,332 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport, flying from the south west at a heading of 59.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport, which had a length of 2,132 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 432 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -398 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.1 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,246 meters, which was 58% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 90 degrees, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a headwind component of 6 knots.
The total flight distance was 318 nautical miles, taking 60 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 1,801 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) on runway 06, achieving an overall score of 86.6%. The final approach was initiated from the south-west, heading 59.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 136 knots.
However, upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was not entirely optimal. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -398 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 432 meters was within acceptable limits, but the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.1 meters from the centreline. This misalignment could have been due to various factors, including pilot error or adverse weather conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions were not particularly challenging, and the aircraft's performance could have been better in terms of alignment and touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,246 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.4 meters from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were not fully effective in bringing the aircraft to a stop. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement in terms of alignment, touchdown speed, and runway rollout.
