Flight Score
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 194 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 433 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, LFBO, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 32R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 137 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,620 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from Cornebarrieu, Occitanie, France, reaching a maximum altitude of 30,004 feet above sea level. This climb phase, which lasted 23 minutes, covered a distance of 131 nautical miles and resulted in an increase of 28,531 feet in altitude. Following a brief cruise phase, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 21 minutes and covered 148 nautical miles, the descent phase commenced overhead Villaines-la-Gonais, Pays de la Loire, France. The aircraft descended from 30,001 feet to 1,674 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,327 feet, in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
Upon approaching Charles de Gaulle International Airport, LFPG, the RJ85 aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 09L from the west, aligning itself with the runway at an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with a touchdown distance of 440 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 107 knots and touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance of 389 nautical miles was achieved in 85 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 2,750 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an RJ85, successfully executed a final approach to runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport from the west, aligning with the heading of 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 119 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a speed of 107 knots, with a touchdown distance of 440 meters, which was within the expected parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31°C and a wind of 3 knots at 124°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and controlled, with a very good runway rollout alignment. The total landing distance was 1,084 meters, which was 40% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway space. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.7%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the crew throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
