Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,578 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,578 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Embraer E175 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 27L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 149 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,237 meters accounted for 36% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 19°C and wind conditions of 16 knots at 210°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 34,572 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,933 feet from its initial altitude of 1,639 feet. This climb phase, which started overhead the airport, took 12 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 34,572 feet as it flew over the Larry D Boven Airport in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This phase lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 367 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 34,019 feet to 1,624 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 25, aligning itself with the runway from the north-east. The aircraft touched down 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was good at -186 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 619 nautical miles, taking 52 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2,032 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Embraer E175 touched down on runway 25 at CYOW Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport with a score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 237.0° at 4 nm and 1,260 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 134 kt.
The aircraft made contact with the runway surface 100 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 kt, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -186 fpm was satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4 °C and a wind of 10 kt at 200°, resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 8 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,490 m was 61% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft meeting most of the performance criteria, resulting in a high score.
