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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,643 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,643 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 638 m past the threshold — beyond 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at Myrtle Beach International Airport (KMYR), with a takeoff distance of 16 meters, which was 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 179°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,045 feet above sea level (asl) to 33,622 ft asl, an increase of 32,577 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northeast of Burgaw, North Carolina, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 236 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 33,305 ft asl to 27,467 ft asl, a decrease of 5,837 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 4 miles northeast of Trappe, Maryland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its next descent from 27,468 ft asl to 10,233 ft asl, a decrease of 17,234 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, which started 4 miles southeast of Groveville, New Jersey, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 10,175 ft asl to 1,346 ft asl, a decrease of 8,828 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. This was followed by a final enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Pelham Manor, New York, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA), heading 212.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,537 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 22, which had a length of 2,135 meters. The threshold height at 129 ft agl was excessively over target, while the threshold speed was slightly below target at 131 knots.
The touchdown point was 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 119 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -566 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 179°.
The total landing distance was 1,464 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 518 nautical miles, which was covered in 107 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,762 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 212.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,537 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 22, which has a length of 2,135 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold height was excessively above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 131 knots, which is a relatively safe speed for landing. The touchdown point was 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a moderate deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 119 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -566 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some discomfort for the passengers. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or other factors.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 179°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 1,464 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the CRJ900 aircraft to a safe stop at KLGA LaGuardia Airport. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown height and rate, and maintaining a more accurate touchdown position.
