Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 148 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a CRJ700ER, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KDAY James M Cox Dayton International Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24R, with a takeoff distance of 1,524 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb was from an altitude of 2,026 feet above sea level to 6,970 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,944 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Vandalia, Ohio. The descent was from an altitude of 7,050 feet above sea level to 1,729 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,320 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 24R from the northeast, heading 236.0° at an altitude of 708 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 3,317 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 116 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 147 meters, and the touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -531 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 69°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,090 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used 1,407 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ700ER aircraft successfully landed at KDAY James M Cox Dayton International Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach was conducted from the northeast, heading 236.0° at 2 nautical miles and 708 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 24R, which has a length of 3,317 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 116 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 147 meters, and the touchdown speed of 113 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate, however, was reported as very hard at -531 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft touched down with a higher than desired rate of descent. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the aircraft's approach configuration, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions. Fortunately, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 69°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, as they did not pose a significant challenge to the aircraft's stability or control.
The total landing distance was 1,090 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the very hard touchdown rate may indicate that there is room for improvement in terms of approach configuration and pilot technique.
