Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 137 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 143 kt against a target of 137 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 137 kt at the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.8° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,935 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,935 ft of the 10,274 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,336 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from the Eastern Iowa Airport, KCID, the CRJ900 began its journey on runway 27, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 153 kt after a takeoff distance of 5,573 ft, which covered 68% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 76 °F, with a gentle headwind of 4 kt and a crosswind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a significant vertical distance of 28,044 ft in just 13 minutes, covering 67 nm. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed over various points in the United States, including Prairie City, Ordway, Olney Springs, and Pueblo Pintado. The final level cruise segment began 14 miles north of E90 Pueblo Pintado Pueblo Pintado, lasting 14 minutes and covering 117 nm.
As the CRJ900 approached its destination, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, KPHX, it initiated a descent from 33,999 ft asl to 2,136 ft asl, a decrease of 29,491 ft in 19 minutes, covering 104 nm. The final approach to runway 25R was executed from the east, with the aircraft touching down 984 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 kt. The total landing distance of 6,683 ft was 65% of the available runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After a taxiing time of 4 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,095 nm and consuming 12,243 lbs of fuel in 167 minutes.
The CRJ900 touched down on runway 25R at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport with a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nm and 982 ft above ground level (agl). The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The touchdown point was 984 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -84 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 93 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 0°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 6,683 ft was 65% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a few minor deviations from the optimal performance.
