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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 556 m past the threshold — beyond 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 04R at KLFT Lafayette Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 231 meters, which accounted for 10% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds blowing at 12 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the tailwind was 9 knots. After departing from KLFT, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and ascending from 1,018 feet above sea level to 37,548 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,530 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 6 miles northeast of 0R0 Columbia-Marion County Columbia in Mississippi and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 183 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Deatsville in Alabama and descending from 37,406 feet above sea level to 12,252 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,154 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 1 mile west of East Newnan in Georgia and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of 51GA Smith Field Tyrone in Georgia and descending from 12,102 feet above sea level to 6,242 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,860 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began an enroute climb, starting 5 miles northeast of 63GA Zips Airport Mc Donough in Georgia and ascending from 6,689 feet above sea level to 8,701 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,012 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its third enroute descent, starting 4 miles southeast of Conyers in Georgia and descending from 8,846 feet above sea level to 2,232 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,615 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,197 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 141 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -185 feet per minute, which was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds blowing at 12 knots from a direction of 260 degrees.
The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,369 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 482 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 2,258 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 97.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,197 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a threshold speed of 144 knots, which was considered good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 141 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still within an acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also deemed good, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The runway length of 2,738 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,369 meters, which was approximately 50% of the runway length.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a safe distance from the end of the runway.
