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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,590 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,590 m of the 2,529 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 347 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34 at KGEY South Big Horn County Airport. The aircraft, a CRJ900, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 156 kt, covering a distance of 407 m, which was 19% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 °C and a wind speed of 6 kt from a direction of 180 °, resulting in a tailwind component of 6 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of KGEY South Big Horn County Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 4,907 ft asl to 15,268 ft asl in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nm. This rapid ascent was achieved by the aircraft's powerful engines and the favorable weather conditions.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it maintained a steady altitude of 15,268 ft asl. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nm, allowing the aircraft to reach its cruising altitude and establish a steady state.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 15 miles west of Dayton, Wyoming. The descent was gradual, with the aircraft descending from 15,242 ft asl to 5,280 ft asl in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nm. This controlled descent allowed the aircraft to slow down and prepare for its final approach.
The final approach to runway 15 at KSHR Sheridan County Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft heading 153.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,273 ft agl. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 °C and a wind speed of 12 kt from a direction of 109 °, resulting in a crosswind component of 9 kt and a headwind component of 8 kt.
The aircraft landed on runway 15, which was 2,529 m long, with a good threshold height. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt, but the touchdown distance was good at 350 m. The touchdown rate was firm at -325 fpm, indicating a controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 58 nm, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. The aircraft used 563 kg of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient flight profile. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled climb, cruise, and descent, with a good landing and taxiing performance.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KSHR Sheridan County Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 153.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 2,529 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 350 meters. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -325 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.3 meters off-centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 109°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,510 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the performance criteria.
