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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 159 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Just Flight RJ100 British Airways model, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London City Airport (EGLC). This process took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 1,136 meters, which is 85% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of Abbey Wood, Greater London, England, and ascended from an altitude of 1,042 feet above sea level to 29,393 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,351 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Marsden, Kirklees, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent approximately 1 mile north of Sedbergh, Cumbria, England, and descended from 29,317 feet above sea level to 1,910 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,407 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) was made from the north east, with a heading of 240.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,754 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 24, which has a length of 2,132 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 112 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 158 meters, and the touchdown speed was 110 knots, which was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was good at -175 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 703 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 300 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,074 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Airways RJ100 aircraft has successfully landed at Edinburgh Airport, achieving a score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 24 was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 240.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,754 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 112 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 158 meters, and the touchdown speed of 110 knots was also good. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute was within the desired range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.6 meters off-centerline. This minor discrepancy may be attributed to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 249°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 703 meters was within 33% of the runway length, which is a reasonable margin. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the desired parameters.
