Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 5.8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5.7° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.9° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then 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 rest of the report
The aircraft in question, an Embraer E175, began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYWG Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft departed from runway 18, it experienced a takeoff distance of 1,302 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 152 knots. At the time, the local weather conditions included a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots coming from a direction of 139 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots.
As the aircraft soared into the sky, it initiated an enroute climb, departing from an altitude of 1,795 feet above sea level and ascending to 34,214 feet above sea level. This vertical increase of 32,419 feet was achieved in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. The enroute climb took place over CYWG Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport in Manitoba, Canada.
The aircraft then entered an enroute level cruise, commencing 9 miles south east of ND95 Farm Strip Munich in North Dakota, United States. Throughout the 21-minute cruise, which spanned a distance of 486 nautical miles, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude.
The next notable point in the flight was the initiation of enroute descent, which began 7 miles north west of 3NE9 Phelps Airport Lorenzo in Nebraska, United States. During this 17-minute process, the aircraft decreased its altitude from 34,318 feet above sea level to 6,580 feet above sea level, marking a vertical drop of 27,738 feet. In this time, the aircraft covered 106 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its final destination, it began a final approach to runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport, flying from the south at a heading of 1.0 degrees and a distance of 4 nautical miles above the airport. The aircraft maintained an altitude of 1,221 feet above ground level and approached the runway with tailwind conditions of 4 knots.
Upon landing on runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport, with a length of 3,670 meters, the aircraft touched down 48 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target, clocking in at 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate was noted as smooth, with a rate of -142 feet per minute.
After landing, the aircraft proceeded to the designated parking area, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles and taking 8 minutes to taxi. The total flight distance was recorded at 695 nautical miles, lasting a total of 63 minutes and utilizing 2,540 kilograms of fuel.
It is worth noting that the crew faced moderate wind conditions during landing, with a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 4 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. These conditions resulted in 4 knots of tailwind.
On the Embraer E175 aircraft, a final approach to runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport was conducted from the south, heading 1.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,221 ft above ground level. The aircraft had an impressive score of 99.3% at the end of the landing.
During the approach, the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision. The pilots successfully navigated the aircraft onto the runway, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 136 knots. This suggests that the pilots had the aircraft under control and were able to maintain a safe speed throughout the approach.
Although the pilots maintained a good threshold height, there were some issues with the touchdown. The touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilots may have been slightly late with the flare. Additionally, the touchdown speed was higher than desired, coming in at 130 knots.
However, the aircraft still managed to achieve a smooth touchdown, with a rate of -142 feet per minute. This was likely due to the good control of the pilots during the flare, as they were able to gradually reduce the rate of descent to achieve a smooth touchdown.
Other factors to consider were the local weather conditions at the time of the landing. The temperature was a comfortable 22 °C, with a light wind of 4 knots blowing at 180 °. There was virtually no crosswind to contend with, but a slight tailwind of 4 knots may have played a role in the slightly faster than expected touchdown speed.
The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was good, with a total landing distance of 1,928 meters, which was approximately 53% of the available runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to be stopped in a relatively short distance after touch down. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path after touchdown.
Overall, while there were a few minor issues with the touchdown, the Embraer E175 performed well during the landing at KDEN Denver International Airport, with a high score of 99.3%.
