Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 16R at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport, covering 50% of the runway's length in a takeoff distance of 1,813 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots, with a local temperature of 10°C and wind conditions of 6 knots at 350°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 6 knots.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile southwest of KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport and climbed from an altitude of 5,186 feet above sea level to 31,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,810 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 97 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 5 miles south of Scipio, Utah, and lasted for 15 minutes, covering a significant distance of 348 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 11 miles north of 51CA Kelly Airport Lucerne Valley, California, and lasted for 17 minutes. During this time, the aircraft descended from 31,994 feet above sea level to 1,341 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,653 feet. This descent covered a distance of 87 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached KLGB Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field), it began its final approach to runway 30 from the southeast, heading 315.0° at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 326 meters and a touchdown speed of 121 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended speed.
The total landing distance was 1,383 meters, covering 68% of the runway's length. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 540 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,904 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 52 minutes.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at KLGB Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field) with a score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 326 meters was also satisfactory, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, but not ideal. A more controlled touchdown rate would have been beneficial to reduce the impact on the aircraft's landing gear and to minimize the risk of damage.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft performed well during the landing roll. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,383 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll and that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and aligned path.
Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft demonstrated good performance and control during the landing at KLGB Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field). While there were a few areas for improvement, the aircraft's overall score of 99.3% indicates a high level of proficiency and a safe and successful landing.
