Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.1 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 68 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 68 ft, 23 ft earlier than the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

See Arrival Landing

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of KDSM, and climbed from an altitude of 1,969 feet above sea level to 21,612 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,643 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Schurr Airport (IA21), and lasted for 13 minutes, covering 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Waseca, Minnesota, and descended from 21,586 feet above sea level to 3,995 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,592 feet, in 8 minutes and covering 53 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Long Lake, Minnesota, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of Minnetonka Mills, and descended from 4,056 feet above sea level to 2,084 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,973 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 12R at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 121.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,230 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12R, which had a length of 3,040 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 137 knots.

The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,274 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

Landing on runway 12R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in the CRJ900
Landing Score 98.07 %
Landing Summary

The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, achieving a score of 98.1%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 121.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,230 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 12R, which has a length of 3,040 meters.

The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots. However, the touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a bit fast, and the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute was fair.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,274 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown point and speed. The pilots' skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
