Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 3,045 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 323 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 22R at KBOS Logan International Airport, departing after a 7-minute taxi from the parking area, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The takeoff distance was 1,169 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a 10-knot headwind at 210°. The aircraft climbed from 1,099 feet above sea level to 31,257 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,159 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The enroute climb started overhead the MA17 Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 25 minutes and covering a distance of 574 nautical miles. This phase started 1 mile south-east of Hardwick, Massachusetts. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles north-east of Russia, Ohio. The descent from 32,000 feet above sea level to 2,120 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,880 feet, took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at KIND Indianapolis International Airport was made from the north-east, heading 225.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,326 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,045 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 323 meters, but the touchdown speed of 139 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -331 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and a 16-knot headwind at 180°. The crosswind was 11 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 765 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,029 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at KIND Indianapolis International Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,326 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 23L, which has a length of 3,045 meters.
The threshold height was well within acceptable limits, and the threshold speed was above the target speed of 145 kt. The touchdown distance of 323 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 139 kt was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -331 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control and navigation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 16 kt from 180°. The crosswind component was 11 kt, while the headwind component was also 11 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 1,211 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centreline, suggesting a minor deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated good control and navigation skills.
