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 1,524 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 437 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 10 at KSAV Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 17 meters, which was 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 307 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSAV Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, and continued to climb from an altitude of 1,057 feet above sea level to 33,174 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,117 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Branchville, South Carolina, and lasted for 41 minutes, covering a distance of 314 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started overhead Christian's Airport in Richmond, Virginia, and continued to descend from 33,636 feet above sea level to 13,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,334 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 3 miles north of Big Oak Farm Airport in Cambridge, Maryland, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 2 miles southwest of Centreville, Maryland, and continued to descend from 12,846 feet above sea level to 8,107 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,739 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Woodbury Heights, New Jersey, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its third descent, which started overhead Canarsie, New York, and continued to descend from 7,421 feet above sea level to 1,154 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,267 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 302.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 2,131 meters. The threshold height at 81 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, while the threshold speed was a little below the target at 115 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 391 meters, with a touchdown speed of 105 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -540 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 307 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,196 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 636
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 2,131 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed, registering at 115 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 105 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 391 meters was also satisfactory. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was quite high, at -540 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively hard landing.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, deviating by 8.3 meters. This could be attributed to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, a wind speed of 10 knots from 307°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind.
The total landing distance of 1,196 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied effectively to bring the plane to a stop. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it was still considered successful, with some areas for improvement.
