Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.2° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 17° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 301 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 to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 30L at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP). The takeoff distance was 1,559 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -6°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,593 feet above sea level to 36,947 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,354 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 172 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, and the aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise. The first level cruise segment began 2 miles west of the Dodgeville Muni Airport (55C) in Wisconsin, and it lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of the Sweedler Airport (3IL2) in Illinois. The descent from 37,022 feet above sea level to 26,068 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,953 feet, took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise segment, which started 6 miles northwest of the Jasper County Airport (KRZL) in Indiana. This segment lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 3 miles northwest of the Purdue University Airport (KLAF) in Indiana. The descent from 25,998 feet above sea level to 3,077 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,921 feet, took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise segment, which started overhead the Mueller Farm Airport (4KY7) in Kentucky. This segment lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36C at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG), heading 356.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36C was successful, with a touchdown distance of 303 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 143 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -178 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,039 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 542 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 57 minutes. The aircraft used 2,633 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 356.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36C, which has a length of 3,352 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 143 knots, indicating a good approach configuration. The touchdown distance of 303 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is still considered good, but it may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown conditions.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 18 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,039 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal rollout path. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 94.7%, indicating a good level of proficiency and control during the approach and landing phases.
