MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 347 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 23R at KIND Indianapolis International Airport, a 6-minute taxiing process from the parking to the runway covering 1 nautical mile. The takeoff distance was 1,641 meters, which is 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius with a wind speed of 8 knots at 80 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile southwest of KIND Indianapolis International Airport and reached an altitude of 34,022 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,293 feet in 10 minutes, covering 86 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 6 miles north of II26 Ashby Airport Remington, lasting 11 minutes and covering 262 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles northeast of WS84 Cran Bog N Airport Warrens, and the aircraft descended from 34,000 feet above sea level to 2,091 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,909 feet in 14 minutes, covering 124 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was from the southeast, heading 302.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 344 meters, which is good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1 degree Celsius with a wind speed of 10 knots at 10 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,302 meters, which is 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 479 nautical miles, taking 44 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,835 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) on runway 30R. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft scored an impressive 98.6% on its landing, demonstrating a high level of proficiency.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,432 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 131 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The touchdown distance of 344 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -307 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters, 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 characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,302 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the Embraer E175's landing at KMSP was a successful one, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The slight deviations from the optimal approach speed and touchdown speed were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft.
