Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 14 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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 1,964 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,964 m of the 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 34R at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport, a departure roll that covered a distance of 40% of the runway and required 1,471 meters to lift off. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 144 knots, despite encountering a relatively calm local environment, with a temperature of 23°C, and a light headwind of 2 knots.
After completing the departure roll, the aircraft began its initial climb, ascending from an elevation of 5,260 feet above sea level to an altitude of 30,911 feet, an increase of 25,651 feet, within an 11-minute time frame. This climb phase covered a distance of 68 nautical miles, starting 1 mile north of KSLC airport and taking off heading northwest.
The enroute climb phase transitioned into a level cruise 10 miles northwest of Laketown, Utah. During this 13-minute cruise period, the aircraft flew level at an altitude of 30,911 feet, covering a substantial distance of 242 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the cruise phase endpoint, the aircraft began its descent towards the final destination, transitioning into a steep descent phase 5 miles north of Three Forks, Montana. Within an 11-minute period, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,982 feet to 4,940 feet, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles and reducing its altitude by 26,042 feet.
The aircraft approached runway 03 at KGTF Great Falls International Airport, flying from the southwest, with a heading of 45 degrees at 4 nautical miles from the touchdown point and at an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level.
Upon final approach, the aircraft touched down on runway 03 at KGTF airport, the landing distance taking up 59% of the runway length, which is 3,198 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target of 130 knots but, within a manageable limit.
The aircraft experienced good runway threshold height, a landing threshold speed and touched down 98 meters beyond the runway touchdown zone. The landing distance was 1,885 meters. The runway rollout alignment and overall aircraft control during rollout was very good.
The final segment of the flight involved taxiing the aircraft from the runway to the parking area, taking only 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
A recent Embraer E175 landing at Great Falls International Airport, KGTF, has been analyzed, with a final approach score of 97.7%. The crew began their final approach to runway 03 from a position to the southwest, a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) from the threshold, and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). Their approach heading was 45.0°, as directed.
On landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but at a slightly misaligned position of 4.6 meters off the centerline. The touchdown point was 98 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 130 knots (kt) was a bit higher than the target speed, while the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was fair.
The landing's threshold height was described as good, and the threshold speed was significantly above the target, reaching 135 kt. This indicated that the crew had ample time and space to prepare for touchdown. During the landing, the aircraft benefited from a headwind of 10 kt, which helped control the aircraft's speed and direction upon touchdown.
A crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of -10 kt were not a major concern, and the aircraft's rollout alignment after touchdown was excellent. With a total landing distance of 1,885 meters, the crew managed to complete the landing within 59% of the available runway length of 3,198 meters. Overall, although there were some minor imperfections in the landing, the Embraer E175 successfully landed safely at KGTF with a favorable score.
