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 7.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 six checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,429 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Fredericton Airport (CYFC), the aircraft began its journey on runway 27, taking off with a distance of 1,196 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots from 190°, resulting in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 142 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent 2 miles south of Lincoln, New Brunswick, and continued to climb to 12,111 meters above sea level, an increase of 11,771.9 meters, in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 4 miles southeast of Medway, Maine, and lasted for 217 minutes, covering a distance of 1,620 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles northeast of Kugel-Strong Airport in Platteville, Colorado, and continued to descend to 4,138 meters above sea level, a decrease of 7,920 meters, in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at Eagle County Regional Airport (KEGE) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 257.0° at 4 nautical miles and 401.9 meters above ground level. The landing was completed with a touchdown speed of 110 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,355 meters, accounting for 56% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,826 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 265 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4,472 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport from the east was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 257.0° at 4 nm and 401.9 meters above ground level. The approach was conducted in a temperature of -1°C, with a wind of 3 kt at 90°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 3 kt. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 116 kt, but the touchdown speed of 110 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -1.1 m/s was fair, indicating a slightly longer than ideal deceleration. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly further than desired. However, the runway touchdown position was only 4.5 meters off-centerline, demonstrating good control during the landing phase.
The total landing distance of 1,355 meters was 56% of the available runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centerline. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency, resulting in a score of 98.4%.
