Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold a little more back pressure through the last of the flare to arrest the sink before 273 fpm develops.
What happened: Touchdown sink rate was 273 fpm, a firm arrival with no other fault on this landing to account for it.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: minimal sink at touchdown
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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,715 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,715 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 taxied from the parking area to runway 18 at CYWG, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 18, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,104 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and lifted off at 142 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 170°, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 12 kt headwind.
The climb commenced overhead CYWG, climbing from 1,778 ft asl to 33,003 ft asl, an increase of 31,225 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 91 nm.
Level cruise began 6 mi northwest of 3MN3 Honker Flats Airport and continued for 21 minutes, during which 147 nm were flown.
Descent started 4 mi southeast of Breezy Point, descending from 32,999 ft asl to 2,214 ft asl, a loss of 30,785 ft in 20 minutes and covering 105 nm.
The final approach to runway 12L at KMSP reduced altitude from 1,434 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 104 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 12L, which is 2,495 m long, the threshold height of 58 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed recorded was 138 kt. Touchdown occurred 429 m down the runway at a speed of 135 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 338 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Local weather at the time was 19 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 147°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total landing distance measured 1,629 m, representing 65 % of the runway, and the subsequent rollout maintained perfect alignment.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 352 nm, required 68 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1,328 kg of fuel.
The Embraer E175 executed a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all remaining within limits. The final approach to runway 12L at KMSP descended from 1,434 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 104 seconds and earned full credit on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft crossed the runway threshold at a height of 58 ft agl, which was noted as slightly above the target, while the threshold speed of 138 kt was judged good.
Touchdown occurred 429 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt described as a little fast and a firm vertical rate of minus 338 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total distance of 1,629 m, representing 65 % of the 2,495 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
Minor refinements should focus on achieving the exact target threshold height and reducing touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the optimum value, while maintaining the excellent alignment and firm touchdown already demonstrated.
