Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 100 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Glasgow International Airport (EGPF), the Embraer E190 began its journey with a smooth taxi to the runway, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 05, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 140 kt, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,301 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 90°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,383 ft above sea level to 38,987 ft, a vertical increase of 37,603 ft in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 207 nautical miles. The climb phase was initiated overhead Clydebank, Scotland, and the aircraft continued to cruise at its enroute altitude for a short period before beginning its descent. The descent phase started 1 mile northeast of Catworth, England, and the aircraft descended from 38,980 ft to 1,939 ft in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at a lower altitude, cruising for 4 minutes before initiating its final approach to London City Airport (EGLC).
The Embraer E190 touched down on runway 09 at EGLC, with a touchdown distance of 97 meters, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly above the target, and the touchdown rate of -570 fpm was relatively high. However, the runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 418 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 2,388 kg of fuel during the 51-minute flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully executed a landing on runway 09 at EGLC London City Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency. The approach to the runway, initiated from the west at 3 nm and 1,578 ft above ground level, was characterized by a heading of 93.0°. The aircraft maintained a good approach quality, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed of 128 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly aggressive approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a touchdown distance of 97 m, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -570 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7 °C and a headwind of 9 kt, contributed to the aircraft's performance.
The Embraer E190's landing distance of 807 m, accounting for 61% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 95.1%, reflecting the aircraft's high level of proficiency and the pilot's skill in executing a safe and controlled landing.
