Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 118 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 126 kt, 8 kt above 118 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 118 kt at the threshold.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven 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 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 608 m past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,295 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Tarnby in Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,046 feet above sea level to 29,246 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,200 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Waabs in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 348 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Anor in Hauts-de-France, France. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 80 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 29,401 feet above sea level to 1,657 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,745 feet.
The final approach to runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, heading 265.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 27R, which had a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height at 69 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 126 knots. The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -489 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The total landing distance was 1,039 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 547 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 3,858 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored an overall rating of 88.4%.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the aircraft's approach to the runway. The threshold height at 69 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was good, coming in at 126 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 108 knots, which is also within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate, however, was hard, coming in at -489 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots. These conditions would have required the pilots to make adjustments to the approach and landing, but it appears that they were able to manage the aircraft effectively.
The total landing distance was 1,039 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a straight line, which is a testament to the pilots' skill and the aircraft's performance.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of the touchdown rate, which was slightly harder than desired.
