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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,039 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 466 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, an RJ85, then departed from runway 09 at LFLS Grenoble-Isère Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,634 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Sillans in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,355 feet above sea level to 30,882 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,526 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Precy-sous-Thil in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region of France. This phase lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 175 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Graincourt-les-Havrincourt in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 86 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,994 feet above sea level to 5,084 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,910 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Huy in the Wallonia region of Belgium. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile west of Juprelle in the Wallonia region of Belgium. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,063 feet above sea level to 2,716 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,347 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Oost in the Provincie Limburg region of the Netherlands. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22L at EBLG Liège Airport, which was located to the north east. The aircraft was heading 225.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 22L at EBLG Liège Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 466 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -64 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 55 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 430 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 90 minutes. The aircraft used 2,991 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at EBLG Liège Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 22L was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a high degree of precision, with a threshold height that was deemed good. The threshold speed of 118 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had maintained control and stability throughout the approach. The touchdown distance of 466 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 108 knots was also good, suggesting that the pilots had managed to slow the aircraft down smoothly and efficiently.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -64 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilots had managed to bring the aircraft down to the runway with minimal loss of altitude, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained their heading and alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 55°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,060 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had managed to slow the aircraft down efficiently and maintain control throughout the landing. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained their heading and alignment with the runway throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the skills and expertise of the pilots, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The high degree of precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach, landing, and rollout phases was impressive, and suggests that the pilots had a thorough understanding of the aircraft's capabilities and limitations.
