Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.2° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 11° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,028 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,279 ft 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an A21N, then departed from runway 36R at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 5,716 feet, which was 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 56°F temperature and a wind of 3 knots at 61°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport and reached an altitude of 36,989 feet, an increase of 35,224 feet from the initial altitude of 1,765 feet. This climb took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles northeast of Merifield Airport in Virginia. This cruise lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 63 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Woodle Airport in Virginia. The descent from 36,819 feet to 26,979 feet took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles southwest of Bryantown in Maryland. This cruise lasted 16 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 2 miles northwest of Cecilton in Maryland. The descent from 26,964 feet to 8,357 feet took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of Yardley in Pennsylvania. This cruise lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting 1 mile northeast of Blawenburg in New Jersey. The descent from 7,757 feet to 2,998 feet took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile southeast of Far Hills in New Jersey. This cruise lasted 20 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent for the final time, starting overhead Piscataway in New Jersey. The descent from 2,795 feet to 2,088 feet took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Fords in New Jersey. This cruise lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04R at Newark Liberty International Airport, heading 26.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,345 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,279 feet and a touchdown speed of 135 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -301 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°F temperature and a wind of 4 knots at 17°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,073 feet, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 481 nautical miles, and the flight took 148 minutes, using 9,198 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport on runway 04R. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,345 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 135 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 140 knots.
The touchdown distance of 1,279 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -301 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 17°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 3,073 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high degree of control and precision during the landing, and that the aircraft was properly configured for the approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, resulting in a safe and controlled landing. The score of 98.9% reflects the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated during the landing.
