Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 133 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 144 kt, 11 kt above the 133 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 133 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 285 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 to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 05 at Des Moines International Airport (KDSM). The takeoff distance was 1,497 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of KDSM, rising from an altitude of 1,989 feet above sea level to 36,605 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,616 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 169 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Harms Airstrip (08IL) in Tampico, Illinois. This phase lasted for 39 minutes and covered a distance of 556 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile west of Flemington, Pennsylvania, and descended from 36,585 feet above sea level to 236 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,349 feet, in 28 minutes and covering a distance of 167 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) was made from the southeast, with a heading of 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 214 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 31, which had a length of 2,131 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 288 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -198 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 320 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,061 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 896 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 3,446 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 302.0° at 1 nautical mile and 214 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 2,131 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 144 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot adjustments. The touchdown distance of 288 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down at a slightly higher speed. The touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down smoothly after touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot error. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were reported as follows: temperature 8°C, wind 4 knots at 320°, crosswind 1 knot, and headwind 4 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilot was able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled manner in which the aircraft was landed.
