Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 124 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 130 kt against a 124 kt target usually carries extra energy into the flare as a balloon, and the sink that returns afterward usually arrives hard at touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 124 kt at the threshold
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.

3 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.
| # | Where | Into flight | Touchdown | Ground speed | Sideways | On the ground |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LSZC · Buochs Airport | 10:57 | 547 ft/min | 20.0 kt | 1.7 kt | 0:14 |
| 2 | LSUR · Altdorf Flugfeld | 19:15 | 550 ft/min | 6.1 kt | 0.0 kt | 0:12 |

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 5.9° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,045 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 56 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 30L at KMSP, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 30L with a take-off distance of 1,675 m, which was 55 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 136 kt. Local weather at departure was 28 °C, wind 2 kt from 187°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind component.
The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 21 seconds, averaging 2,085 fpm and reaching 145 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,806 ft asl to 37,499 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 153 nm while remaining overhead KMSP.
Cruise was maintained at 38,000 ft asl for 97 minutes, covering 586 nm, beginning 4 mi south-east of Rock Rapids.
Descent began from 37,873 ft asl and proceeded to 6,047 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 132 nm. The descent started 2 mi south-east of Manassa and included brief level-offs at 20,000 ft asl and 14,000 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 21 at KABQ descended from 1,127 ft agl to 25 ft agl in 83 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed, and wings level; the centreline check was not met at one gate. Configuration was gear down at 2,145 ft agl with 228 kt, and final flap position 5 was selected at 946 ft agl with 168 kt.
Landing on runway 21 occurred with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly above target at 131 kt. The flare was described as fair; the aircraft ballooned in the flare. Touchdown was 56 m from the threshold, at 129 kt, a little fast, with a firm rate of minus 324 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was perfect and no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,001 m, 33 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 24 °C, wind 15 kt from 190°, with an 8 kt crosswind and a 12 kt headwind component.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 878 nm in 158 minutes and used 4,391 kg of fuel.
