Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 450 m touchdown sits inside 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 27 at Houari Boumediene Airport, located in Algiers, Algeria. The takeoff distance was 951 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,067 feet above sea level to 31,457 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,390 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 60 miles southeast of Cala d'Or, Spain, and lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 338 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Vacqueyras, France, and descending from 30,915 feet above sea level to 3,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,838 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Saint-Andre-de-Corcy, France, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17L at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport was made from the north, heading 175.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 17L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 449 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -53 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 77 degrees. There was a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 578 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 12 minutes. The aircraft used 3,720 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL) on runway 17L. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 175.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated exceptional control and precision, achieving a score of 99.3%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 112 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 449 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 102 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -53 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, signifying a gentle and stable touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 77°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft's ability to navigate these conditions effectively is a testament to its stability and maneuverability.
The total landing distance of 971 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. This is a significant achievement, as it suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, further emphasizing the aircraft's exceptional handling characteristics.
Overall, the landing of the RJ85 at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport was a textbook example of precision and control. The aircraft's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and execute a smooth, controlled touchdown is a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilots involved.
