Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 23 at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola, in Italy. The takeoff distance was 1,151 meters, which was 132% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 132 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were favorable, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 216 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from 1,193 feet above sea level to 32,780 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,587 feet, in 29 minutes and covering 154 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Ora, Italy, and lasted 75 minutes, covering 446 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles northwest of Wenduine, Belgium, descending from 32,468 feet above sea level to 9,169 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,299 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 62 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 11 miles southeast of Clacton-on-Sea, England, and lasted 5 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile east of Herne Bay, England, descending from 8,544 feet above sea level to 5,880 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,664 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northeast of Leysdown-on-Sea, England, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles northeast of Sheerness, England, descending from 5,857 feet above sea level to 4,534 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,324 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Allhallows, England, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead East Tilbury, England, descending from 3,939 feet above sea level to 1,866 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,073 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Chislehurst, England, and lasted 5 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 at EGLC London City Airport from the west, heading 93.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,791 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 at EGLC London City Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 455 meters and a touchdown speed of 109 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -227 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cooler, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,121 meters, which was 84% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 732 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 150 minutes. The aircraft used 5,090 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at London City Airport (EGLC) with a score of 94.7%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 93.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,791 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 09, which has a length of 1,334 meters.
The approach and landing were executed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 120 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 455 meters. The touchdown speed of 109 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 15°C.
The total landing distance of 1,121 meters was 84% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it came to a stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the slightly high touchdown rate may indicate that the pilot could have made some adjustments to the approach to achieve a smoother touchdown.
