Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,812 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,812 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 365 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 aircraft took off from runway 30R at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The departure roll was smooth, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 144 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were quite cold, with a temperature of -14 °C and a wind speed of 8 kt at 310 °, resulting in a headwind of 8 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,946 ft asl to a maximum altitude of 31,999 ft asl, an increase of 30,053 ft in just 12 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nm. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 147 nm. This phase of the flight was relatively stable, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles south west of Warroad, Minnesota. The descent was from an altitude of 32,000 ft asl to a final altitude of 2,121 ft asl, a decrease of 29,879 ft in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nm. This descent phase was a critical part of the flight, requiring precise control to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
The final approach to runway 36 at the Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 9.0 ° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,334 ft agl. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 123 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, at 364 m, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 m from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were also quite cold, with a temperature of -19 °C and a wind speed of 7 kt at 350 °, resulting in a headwind of 6 kt. The crosswind was relatively light, at 2 kt. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the aircraft performed well, with a good threshold height and a very good runway rollout alignment.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 349 nm, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,794 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a success, with the aircraft performing well in a range of challenging weather conditions.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) with a score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 9.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,334 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 3,357 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 128 knots. This may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing. The touchdown distance was good at 364 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and slow down effectively during the landing.
However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -288 feet per minute (fpm). A faster touchdown speed can result in a higher touchdown rate, which can be a concern for aircraft safety. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of -19°C, a wind speed of 7 knots at 350°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance was 1,723 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Embraer E175 aircraft performed well during the landing at CYWG, with a score of 97.9%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters, the aircraft was able to maintain control and slow down effectively, resulting in a successful landing.
