Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 303 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 area to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,345 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 207 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead College Park, Georgia. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,058 feet above sea level to 31,178 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,120 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Murphy, North Carolina. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 160 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of Coal Run Village, Kentucky. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,400 feet above sea level to 1,887 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,512 feet.
The final approach to runway 23 at Yeager Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 228.0 degrees at an altitude of 957 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 1,742 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 301 meters, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 240 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,036 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 327 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes. The aircraft used 1,654 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KCRW Yeager Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 228.0° at 4 nautical miles and 957 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 301 meters, which is within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 11.5 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots at 240°.
The total landing distance of 1,036 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the performance of the aircraft. These include improving the touchdown rate and ensuring that the aircraft remains aligned with the centerline during the rollout phase.
