Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 116 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 123 kt, 7 kt above the 116 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 116 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and 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 2,492 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began at Warsaw Chopin Airport in Poland, where an RJ85 aircraft took off from runway 29. During departure, it faced moderate local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a headwind of 1 kt. The takeoff distance covered 50% of the runway and lasted 1,155 meters, with a liftoff speed of 137 kt.
As the aircraft ascended, it began its enroute climb from 1,358 feet above sea level (asl) to 25,059 ft asl, an increase of 23,701 ft in 17 minutes, covering 68 nm. The enroute climb started over Wlochy in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland, and continued over various points in Poland and Ukraine, including Niedzwiada Duza and Mostys'ka. A notable climb phase occurred from 25,290 ft asl to 31,215 ft asl, with a gain of 5,925 ft in 7 minutes over the Harasiuki area. Another level cruise started over Mostys'ka and lasted 56 minutes, covering a considerable 410 nm.
The descent from 31,711 ft asl to 2,210 ft asl took place over the Bulgarian area near Botevgrad, with a decrease of 29,501 ft in 17 minutes, covering 79 nm. Subsequent level cruising segments took place over Plovdiv International Airport and lasted a mere 2 minutes, covering 6 nm.
Final approach was initiated when the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise 5 miles south of the LB32 Konush Airstrip. The landing on runway 30 at Plovdiv International Airport occurred with good threshold height, speed, and touchdown distance. Threshold speed was at the desired 124 kt, with a touchdown speed of 112 kt. Touchdown rate and runway touchdown position were also satisfactory, although slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centreline.
Upon landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking spot, covering less than 1 nm in 2 minutes. With a total flight distance of 665 nm, the flight utilized 115 minutes of flight time and 4,218 kg of fuel.
The recent landing of the RJ85 aircraft at LBPD Plovdiv International Airport has been assessed and scored at an impressive 98.0%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the southeast, heading 313.0° at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles away from the runway threshold.
As the aircraft landed on the 2,492-meter-long runway 30, all key parameters were met. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 124 knots was achieved as expected. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, at 458 meters. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 112 knots and the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute were both good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Notably, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.5 meters, which is a minor deviation. However, this did not significantly impact the rest of the landing sequence. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 300°.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which contributed to a more stable approach and landing. The total landing distance of 1,146 meters accounted for approximately 46% of the runway, indicating that the aircraft touched down well before reaching the end of the runway. Upon rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway centreline. Overall, the landing was successful and showcased good piloting skills.
