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 7.7 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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 441 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the Embraer E175 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 17, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,380-meter stretch of the runway, which accounted for 57% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots, overcoming the local headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,899 feet above sea level to 29,001 feet, a vertical gain of 27,101 feet, in just 10 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 83 nautical miles during this phase. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 29,001 feet, before beginning its descent towards its destination. The descent phase saw the aircraft lose 23,013 feet in altitude over a period of 14 minutes, covering a distance of 172 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time at a lower altitude, before commencing its final descent.
As the aircraft approached Chicago Midway International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 04R, aligning itself with the runway from the southwest. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 129 knots, with a touchdown distance of 441 meters. The aircraft's touchdown rate was firm at -317 feet per minute, and its runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 373 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,598 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 46 minutes.
The Embraer E175 touched down on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport with a score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 43.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,405 feet above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was well-maintained, allowing the crew to establish a stable approach path.
As the aircraft touched down, it was traveling at a speed of 129 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 441 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -317 feet per minute was firm but not excessive. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2°C and a headwind of 8 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The Embraer E175 rolled out on the runway with perfect alignment, maintaining its centerline position throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,139 meters was 71% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between touchdown distance and rollout performance. Overall, the landing was characterized by good approach quality, stable touchdown characteristics, and precise rollout alignment, resulting in a high score of 98.8%.
