What went well

Touchdown 280 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 26 ft and 129 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 3.28 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -400 fpm at 54 %, g force 0.95 to 1.48 g at 87 %, −0.67 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 12.87 m right at 64 %, −0.48 points
Departure Climb 1 — bank angle up to 9.6 ° at 87 %, −0.22 points

Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 5.8°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 61 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 61 ft, 16 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 400 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.

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

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KDEN Denver International Airport took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Embraer E175 then began its departure roll on runway 17L, utilizing 52% of the 1,904-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 147 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 269 °, resulting in a headwind of 0 knots and a crosswind of 18 knots.

Following a successful takeoff, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb approximately 2 miles southeast of KDEN, ascending from 6,406 feet above sea level to 34,427 feet above sea level in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 9-minute enroute level cruise, which started 6 miles east of CD05 Jackson Airfield and covered a distance of 270 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead NE42 Dream Field Lincoln, descending from 34,974 feet above sea level to 2,922 feet above sea level in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 155 nautical miles. A brief 2-minute enroute level cruise followed, starting 4 miles north of Milo and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The Embraer E175 then initiated its final approach to runway 31 at KDSM Des Moines International Airport from the southeast, aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,410 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 2,738-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 278 meters and a touchdown speed of 127 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -340 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 544 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 43 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,727 kilograms.
