Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 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 2,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 296 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport (KEQY), the aircraft began its journey on runway 05, accelerating down the 1,384-meter stretch to reach a liftoff speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold and began its climb, ascending from 1,665 feet above sea level to 28,992 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
As the aircraft leveled off, it entered a 36-minute cruise phase, covering 256 nautical miles. The crew then initiated a descent, reducing altitude from 28,998 feet to 26,648 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend, eventually reaching 1,704 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering 60 nautical miles. The final approach to LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) was executed from the southeast, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway 31 threshold. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 295 meters and a speed of 108 knots. The total landing distance was 638 meters, accounting for just 30% of the runway length.
Following a smooth landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 499 nautical miles, completed in 90 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 3,391 kilograms. The crew's precise navigation and control ensured a safe and efficient journey, with the aircraft performing well within its capabilities.
The aircraft, an RJ85, successfully completed a final approach to runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport from the south east, aligning with the runway heading of 295.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,228 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 116 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it achieved a touchdown distance of 295 meters, which was within the desired parameters, and a touchdown speed of 108 knots, also within the acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute was slightly below the optimal range, indicating a slightly longer deceleration phase. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 6 knots from 260°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 4 knots each, which further facilitated a stable approach and touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout phase was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline throughout the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 638 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was highly successful, with a score of 99.7%, reflecting the crew's exceptional skill and the aircraft's excellent performance.
