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 1,727 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,727 m of the 2,152 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 884 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 24 meters, which was 1% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 16 knots at 19 degrees. The crosswind was 15 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport, and reached an altitude of 33,212 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,209 feet from the initial altitude of 2,003 feet. This climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 62 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles southwest of Macon, Georgia. This cruise phase lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 570 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles southeast of Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 33,674 feet to 2,347 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles east of George Town in the Exuma District, Bahamas. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 7 miles east of George Town. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 2,221 feet to 1,707 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 12 miles east of George Town. This cruise phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 at Exuma International Airport, which was located to the southeast. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,104 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the touchdown point being 449 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -161 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 16 knots at 19 degrees, with a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,627 meters, which was 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 791 nautical miles, which was covered in 142 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,673 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at Exuma International Airport (MYEF) on runway 30, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 297.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,104 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 449 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. However, the threshold height at 84 feet agl was significantly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been higher than intended at the moment of touchdown. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots, which may have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 19°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was only 2 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's alignment and touchdown point.
One of the notable issues with this landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. This misalignment may have been caused by the crosswind or the pilot's judgment during the final approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted off the centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the CRJ900 aircraft landed safely at Exuma International Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The deviation from the touchdown zone and the misalignment of the runway touchdown and rollout positions highlight the importance of precise navigation and control during the final approach and landing phases.
