Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 5.6° off, against a 1° limit and wings 10° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,186 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 328 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Logan International Airport (KBOS) on runway 22R, the Embraer E175 began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 151 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold in 1,031 meters, utilizing 48% of the available length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 8 °C, with a headwind of 15 kt and a crosswind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it transitioned from the initial climb phase to a level cruise, passing overhead the MA17 Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend 30,952 ft in 10 minutes, covering 85 nm. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted 9 minutes and covered 203 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 32,001 ft. The descent phase began 12 miles south east of Avalon, New Jersey, and saw the aircraft descend 31,806 ft in 20 minutes, covering 147 nm. The final approach to runway 19 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at 174 ft agl.
The Embraer E175 touched down on runway 19 at KDCA, with a touchdown speed of 127 kt and a touchdown rate of -383 fpm. The touchdown distance was 328 meters, with the aircraft utilizing 52% of the available runway length. Runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area in 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 440 nm, with the aircraft consuming 1,774 kg of fuel over a flight duration of 48 minutes.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully completed a landing on runway 19 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport from the north. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a heading of 176.0° at 0 nm and 174 ft above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 127 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 328 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -383 fpm was firm but not excessive.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. However, the rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to quickly regain control of the aircraft and maintain a stable path down the runway. The total landing distance of 1,130 m was 52% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 °C and a wind of 9 kt at 160°, resulting in a 2 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently in these conditions was evident in the overall performance of the landing, which scored 97.5%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and alignment, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were sufficient to ensure a safe and successful landing.
