Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,219 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 586 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 24 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. The takeoff distance was 874 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 135 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots at 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 22 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,301 feet above sea level to 7,372 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,071 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Marolles-en-Hurepoix, lasting for 60 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 7,372 feet to 18,031 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,659 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south of Fontenay-sur-Loing in the Centre-Val de Loire region, lasting for 118 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 18,096 feet to 24,130 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,035 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northwest of Colmery in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region, lasting for 5 minutes and covering 40 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile south of Charrin, with the aircraft descending from 24,252 feet to 1,868 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,384 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at LFLY Lyon Bron Airport was made from the north, heading 162.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,201 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 431 meters and a touchdown speed of 108 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -346 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,054 meters, which accounted for 87% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 216 nautical miles, taking 49 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,560 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at LFLY Lyon Bron Airport, achieving a score of 76.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 162.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,201 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 16, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed, reaching 116 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 431 meters. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -346 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off, deviating by 10.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,054 meters was 87% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a halt safely. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities allowed for a successful and safe landing at LFLY Lyon Bron Airport.
