Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,800 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,800 m of the 3,073 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 910 m past the threshold — beyond 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ700ER, then departed from runway 23L at KIND Indianapolis International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,063 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of KIND Indianapolis International Airport. The climb started at an altitude of 1,877 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 19,564 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,687 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead 26IN Willcox Airport, where the aircraft leveled off at an altitude of 19,564 feet above sea level. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started overhead KUWL New Castle-Henry County Municipal Airport, where the aircraft began its descent from 19,802 feet above sea level to 2,530 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,272 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 2,530 feet above sea level to 2,134 feet above sea level, an increase of 396 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This climb phase started overhead Etna, Ohio.
The final approach to runway 28L at KCMH John Glenn Columbus International Airport began from the east, heading 271.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28L, which had a length of 3,073 meters.
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 489 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -50 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather at the time of landing was 22 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,714 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 177 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 37 minutes. The aircraft used 1,086 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ700ER aircraft successfully landed on runway 28L at KCMH John Glenn Columbus International Airport, achieving a score of 89.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 489 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 116 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C. The runway length of 3,073 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 1,714 meters, which accounts for 56% of the runway. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to safely stop after touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also spot on, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
