Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,652 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 21R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,341-meter stretch of the runway that it occupied, with a takeoff distance of 52% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 134 knots, clearing the ground and beginning its ascent into the local skies.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,652 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 28,921 feet, a vertical gain of 27,269 feet over a distance of 145 nautical miles in 23 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 28 minutes and covered a distance of 230 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying at a steady altitude of 28,921 feet. The cruise phase was punctuated by a series of descents and level segments, with the aircraft eventually beginning its final descent into Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport.
As the RJ85 aircraft approached the airport, it initiated its final descent, gradually losing altitude from 28,832 feet to 2,976 feet above sea level over a distance of 119 nautical miles in 19 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off at 2,997 feet above sea level, flying for a short period before beginning its final descent into the airport. The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at a speed of 98 knots, with a touchdown distance of 447 meters and a touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 928 meters, occupying just 25% of the runway's length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey of 523 nautical miles in 95 minutes, with a total fuel consumption of 3,145 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at CYMX Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 110 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 447 m was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 98 kt was well within the recommended range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a good touchdown rate of -197 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, which may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a headwind of 2 kt, were relatively calm, which should have facilitated a smooth landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, indicating a high degree of control and precision from the pilot. The total landing distance of 928 m, which accounted for only 25% of the runway, was also satisfactory. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
