Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,496 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) on runway 04L. The taxiing process from the parking to the runway took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The takeoff roll began at 1,242 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Springfield Gardens, New York, and reached an altitude of 26,569 feet above sea level (asl) in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles west of the Greenwood Lake Seaplane Base in West Milford, New Jersey, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 197 nautical miles. The descent started 4 miles southeast of Sykesville, Pennsylvania, and took 12 minutes to descend from 26,477 feet asl to 2,373 feet asl, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28L at Pittsburgh International Airport (KPIT) was made from the east, heading 272.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,593 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 28L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 339 meters and a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -284 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,359 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 317 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 1,598 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at KPIT Pittsburgh International Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 28L was initiated from the east, heading 272.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,593 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, reaching 140 knots. The touchdown distance of 339 meters was deemed good, but the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than expected. The touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.3 meters, which may require some adjustments during future landings. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,359 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing process. Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing at KPIT Pittsburgh International Airport.
