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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 7.1 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 7.1 ft, but 168 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into 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.
One stabilised approach gate: six 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,802 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,802 m of the 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 794 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport, with the Embraer E190 aircraft taking off after a distance of 936 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 274 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Edinburgh Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,098 feet above sea level to 1,310 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This was followed by a brief level cruise 2 miles northeast of the airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 2 miles south of Burntisland, Scotland, increasing its altitude from 1,122 feet to 2,425 feet in 3 minutes, despite covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The flight continued with a series of level cruises and climbs, with the aircraft reaching an altitude of 2,465 feet above sea level 3 miles north of Edinburgh Airport. It then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 2,465 feet to 1,817 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again 1 mile east of Queensferry, Scotland, remaining at this altitude for 2 minutes while covering 4 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began another climb overhead Broxburn, Scotland, increasing its altitude from 1,504 feet to 2,139 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, reducing its altitude from 2,123 feet to 402 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 62.0 degrees at an altitude of 284 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 06, with the aircraft touching down 377 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, at 122 knots, while the touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same as at the time of departure.
The total landing distance was 1,720 meters, accounting for 81% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, taking 12 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 626 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 has successfully landed on runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport, EGPH, achieving a landing score of 88.6%. The approach to the runway began from the south west, heading 62.0° at 1 nautical mile and 284 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a slightly above-target threshold speed of 122 knots, demonstrating an initial adherence to standard landing procedures. Although the touchdown point itself was 377 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, the plane was able to maintain perfect alignment with the runway, signifying precise control and navigation.
However, the touchdown speed recorded at 120 knots was found to be relatively high. Typically, lower touchdown speeds are recommended to reduce the impact on the aircraft and to improve overall safety. Nevertheless, the rate of touchdown, recorded at -223 feet per minute (fpm), was characterized as fair.
Given the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2°C and wind velocities of 2 knots coming from 257°, and a small tailwind effect of 1 knot, the conditions were relatively favorable for landing.
The total landing distance of 1,720 meters corresponded to 81% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively controlled deceleration following touchdown. Furthermore, the aircraft showcased excellent runway rollout alignment, demonstrating smooth and controlled movement during the landing sequence.
