Maintain the centreline
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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,129 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 436 m 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 area to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 34 at Worland Municipal Airport (KWRL), with a takeoff distance of 1,329 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 349 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Airport Road in Wyoming, where the aircraft ascended from 5,220 feet above sea level to 8,076 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,857 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 4 miles north of West River in Wyoming, where the aircraft descended from 7,984 feet above sea level to 4,913 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,071 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at South Big Horn County Airport (KGEY) was made from the south, heading 349.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,000 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 at KGEY was successful, with a touchdown distance of 432 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots, and the touchdown speed at 134 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 180 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,395 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 36 nautical miles, taking 22 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,550 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KGEY South Big Horn County Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 349.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,000 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 2,129 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the approach, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance. The touchdown distance was good at 432 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm). A firm touchdown rate can be a concern as it may put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the approach or landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 180°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance was 1,395 meters, which is 66% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The aircraft's score of 95.6% indicates that it performed well, but there is still room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
