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 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 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 to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ100, then departed from runway 15L at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. The takeoff distance was 953 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 130 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 140 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 15 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Eringate-Centennial-West Deane in Ontario, Canada. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,504 feet above sea level to 28,355 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,852 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south east of Henrietta in New York, United States. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 3 miles west of Victor in New York, United States. This climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 28,997 feet above sea level to 30,916 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,919 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of NK76 Grammar Airport in Geneva, New York, United States. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 179 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, starting 1 mile south west of Peach Lake in New York, United States. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 31,793 feet above sea level to 1,352 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,441 feet.
The final approach to runway 04 at LaGuardia Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 32.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,330 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 112 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 30 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,455 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 345 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 81 minutes. The aircraft used 2,697 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,330 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 118 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 112 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 111 knots. This speed is also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's engines were well-managed during the landing process.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a landing.
The total landing distance of 1,455 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the aircraft's engines were well-managed during the landing process, and the pilot's skills were effective in controlling the aircraft's descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout process.
Overall, the landing of the RJ100 aircraft at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was a success, with a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft's approach, touchdown, and rollout were all well-executed, and the local weather conditions were favorable. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were effective in achieving a smooth and controlled landing.
