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 3,026 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 469 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04R, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 38% of the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 145 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 50 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 14 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles and increasing the aircraft's altitude from 1,015 feet above sea level to 27,487 feet above sea level, a total increase of 26,472 feet. The enroute climb took place in a region with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 50 degrees.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the town of Tromello in Italy and lasted for 92 minutes, covering a distance of 547 nautical miles. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and speed, allowing it to conserve fuel and make the most efficient use of its resources.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south east of the town of Szczercow in Poland. The descent took place over a distance of 85 nautical miles and a time of 26 minutes, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 28,236 feet above sea level to 1,646 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 26,589 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of descent were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 270 degrees.
The final approach to runway 33 at Warsaw Chopin Airport took place from the south east, with the aircraft heading at 332.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 110 knots, with a touchdown distance of 468 meters and a touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.1 meters.
The landing on runway 33 at Warsaw Chopin Airport was successful, with the aircraft using 30% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 270 degrees.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 757 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 157 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,762 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, successfully landed at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport on runway 33. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 332.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway.
The landing performance was satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target at 69 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 121 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 468 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 110 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -124 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was not significantly impacted, as the landing distance of 917 meters was only 30% of the available runway length.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance and maintaining a stable alignment throughout the rollout.
