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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 173 m touchdown sits inside 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,237 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 3 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,034 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 36,851 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,817 feet in 28 minutes. The enroute climb covered a distance of 182 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Oderberg, Germany. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile south of Werben, Germany, and descended from 36,989 feet above sea level to 4,015 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,974 feet in 18 minutes. The enroute descent covered a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Kralupy nad Vltavou, Czech Republic. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Libeznice, Czech Republic. The descent from 3,989 feet above sea level to 2,535 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the northeast, with a heading of 245.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,333 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 172 meters and a touchdown speed of 125 knots. The touchdown rate was slightly hard at -440 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,294 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 381 nautical miles, which was covered in 81 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,363 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 130 kt, coming in at 129 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 172 meters, and the touchdown speed of 125 kt was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate, however, was reported as hard at -440 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 9 kt from a direction of 190°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 5 kt. Despite these conditions, the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,294 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled as it taxied down the runway after landing. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
