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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 296 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated from Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG) in Israel, taking off from runway 26. During taxiing to the runway, it took 14 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nautical miles. The weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33°C, with wind blowing at 15 kt from a direction of 330°.
Following a departure roll from runway 26, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 133 kt. It reached liftoff after covering 41% of the runway's length, amounting to 1,261 meters. During its enroute climb, the aircraft rose from an altitude of 1,114 ft to a maximum altitude of 28,389 ft, a vertical gain of 27,275 ft, in just 20 minutes. The route took the aircraft over several notable locations in Israel, the Lebanon, and Cyprus, with notable stopovers including the Haifa Static Carrier and the Ayia Napa.
During the flight, the aircraft experienced varying weather conditions, with temperatures ranging from 33°C to 21°C. Wind conditions also changed, with headwinds being experienced at times, but crosswinds being relatively minor. The flight covered significant distances, initially following a 3-minute enroute cruise, before making a climb to a higher altitude at 64 miles northwest of Tyre. This climb added a further 2,888 ft to its altitude.
A notable segment of the flight took place over the eastern Mediterranean, as the aircraft cruised over the Famagusta District in Cyprus at an altitude of 31,700 ft and continued to cruise level at 30,837 ft, before making a descent that lasted 14 minutes.
The aircraft's final descent started over the Baku region in Azerbaijan. It began by descending from an altitude of 30,837 ft to 7,012 ft in 14 minutes. This was followed by an additional 5-minute cruise before beginning the final descent to the landing site.
On approach to the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Azerbaijan, the aircraft touched down on runway 34 at a slightly slower speed than the threshold speed of 110 kt, taking 297 meters to come to a stop. The runway touchdown position was offset from the centreline by a small margin. After a short taxiing time of 4 minutes, the aircraft came to a stop at the designated parking area.
The flight distance covered during the entire trip was 1,070 nautical miles. The entire duration of the flight was 125 minutes, using a fuel supply of 6,709 kilograms. Overall, it can be concluded that the flight was operated smoothly, with good runway conditions and favorable landing conditions throughout the entire duration.
Aircraft RJ70 successfully completed a landing operation at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The approach began from the south, with the aircraft heading 346.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The runway used for landing was runway 34, which has a length of 4,001 meters.
Although the aircraft performed well during the landing, there were some minor issues that need to be addressed. During the final approach, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed, registering at 106 knots. Despite this, the aircraft managed to touchdown distance of 297 meters, which is within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed was also within good limits, registering at 97 knots.
However, the aircraft experienced a heavy touchdown rate of -640 feet per minute, indicating that the pilot may need to work on smoothing out the landing. Furthermore, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.3 meters. This discrepancy could be attributed to the crosswind, which was 6 knots from the north but the headwind of 20 kt from the north-west.
The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 21°C and wind speed of 20 knots from the north-west. The aircraft's performance in various areas of the landing is summarized in the final evaluation. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 663 meters, which is only 17% of the runway length. This shows that the pilot managed to land safely, but could improve their performance in future approaches.
One positive aspect of the landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was described as very good. This suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, and managed to align it correctly with the runway centerline. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement that need to be addressed by the pilot to ensure smoother and more controlled landings in the future.
