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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,901 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,901 m of the 2,033 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,150 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight started with a prolonged taxiing phase, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles in 22 minutes, before departing from runway 06 at EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 128 knots, utilizing 92% of the available runway length of 1,736 meters. The takeoff was executed under favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of zero knots from a direction of 89 degrees.
As the flight progressed, it entered an enroute climb phase, starting above Meckenbeuren in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and targeting an altitude of 31,442 feet above sea level. The climb phase was completed in 28 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 143 nautical miles and gained an altitude of 29,091 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, maintaining its altitude and lasting for 16 minutes as it covered a distance of 111 nautical miles over Frammersbach in the state of Bavaria, Germany.
The next phase of the flight was a gentle descent, starting around one mile south-east of Delligsen in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,599 feet to 1,845 feet above sea level in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles in the process.
As the flight neared its destination, it entered the final approach phase to runway 27 at EDDW Bremen Airport. This was executed from the east, with the aircraft heading 260 degrees at a height of 3 nautical miles and 1,804 feet above ground level. The actual touchdown occurred beyond the half-way mark, with the aircraft requiring 99% of the available runway length of 2,033 meters to come to a complete stop.
The local weather conditions during the landing phase were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 199 degrees, with a crosswind component of 12 knots and a headwind component of 5 knots. The actual touchdown speed was slightly faster than the target speed of 143 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with a touchdown rate of 240 feet per minute. With a landing distance of 2,010 meters, the aircraft utilized a significant portion of the available runway length before coming to a complete stop.
The post-landing phase consisted of a brief taxiing period of less than one minute, taking the aircraft from the runway to the parking area and covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. Throughout the flight, the aircraft burned a total of 2,439 kilograms of fuel, while covering a total distance of 340 nautical miles and taking a total time of 72 minutes.
The RJ100 aircraft has successfully landed at EDDW Bremen Airport, with a score of 75.7%. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles (nm) and an altitude of 1,804 feet above ground level (agl). The conditions for the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 12 kt at 199°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft used more than 50% of the available runway, indicating a long touchdown point. This may have been due to the threshold speed being above the target speed of 143 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been experiencing difficulty in achieving the ideal descent rate. Additionally, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, at 125 kt, and the touchdown rate was only fair at -240 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown alignment was excellent, showing good control over the aircraft's directional movement during landing.
The total landing distance was 2,010 meters, which accounted for 99% of the runway, indicating a close call in terms of remaining runway space. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post- touchdown phase.
