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 5,451 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,451 ft of the 8,995 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,241 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Embraer E190 started with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering 2 nm. The departure roll on runway 01L at KLAS Mc Carran Intl was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 6,973 ft, which was 83% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 165 kn. The local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 77 °F with a 4-kn wind coming from 330°, resulting in a 3-kn headwind.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft started climbing from 3,234 ft above sea level (asl) to 36,611 ft asl, achieving an altitude increase of 33,377 ft in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nm. The level cruise phase began 7 miles south of 6CA8 Depue Lenwood (California, United States) and lasted for 358 minutes, covering 2,204 nm.
The descent phase started 42 miles north of 18HI Brandt Field Waialua (Hawaii, United States), descending from 37,172 ft asl to 8,255 ft asl, covering a distance of 84 nm in 16 minutes. Another brief level cruise phase began 5 miles south of Honolulu (Hawaii, United States) for 2 minutes, covering 9 nm before the descent continued 13 miles south of Honolulu, decreasing altitude from 8,208 ft asl to 1,802 ft asl in 7 minutes over a distance of 11 nm.
The landing occurred on runway 04R at PHNL Honolulu Intl, with a runway length of 8,995 ft. The aircraft approached at a height of 38 ft above ground level (agl) with a speed of 137 kn. Touchdown was achieved 2,242 ft from the threshold at a speed of 125 kn with a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) reading of -103 ft/m. The local weather conditions at landing showed a temperature of 92 °F with a 16-kn wind coming from 70°, resulting in a 15-kn headwind.
The total landing distance covered was 5,178 ft, which was 58% of the runway length. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance for the journey was 2,445 nm, lasting for 452 minutes and consuming 24,966 lbs of fuel.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 97.0%! This is a fantastic result that showcases your skill and proficiency in executing a safe and efficient landing.
Let's break down the analysis of the different phases of the landing process to provide a more detailed understanding of your performance.
During the Approach Phase, it is commendable that you had excellent glideslope alignment. This indicates that you were able to maintain the correct descent path towards the runway, ensuring a smooth transition from the descent to the landing phase. While your speed was slightly above the target, this can be easily adjusted with practice to achieve optimal touchdown conditions.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is great to note that you exhibited good threshold height control and executed a solid landing flare. These factors are crucial in ensuring a safe and smooth touchdown, preventing any hard landings or bouncing on the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, your performance shines with an excellent touchdown rate. This suggests that you were able to make a precise and controlled touchdown on the runway, showcasing your ability to handle the aircraft with precision. While your speed was a bit above the target, this can be improved with practice to align with the optimal landing criteria.
It is worth noting that the touchdown point being 868 ft beyond the touchdown zone indicates a slight overshoot, which can be refined with adjustments in approach and descent planning. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 6 ft from the centerline implies a minor deviation that can be rectified by maintaining better alignment during the landing phase.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 13 ft from the centerline suggests a slight drift during the rollout. This can be addressed by maintaining better control and alignment of the aircraft during the post-touchdown phase.
Overall, your performance in the different phases of the landing process shows a high level of proficiency and skill. By focusing on fine-tuning certain areas such as speed control, alignment, and touchdown point accuracy, you can further enhance your landing technique and strive for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the excellent work and continue practicing to refine your skills as a pilot. Well done!
