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 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 561 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the RJ85 CityJet aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 14R, with a takeoff distance of 807 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 128 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the tailwind was a mere 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,542 feet above sea level to 14,963 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,421 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Fiac, lasting 25 minutes and covering a distance of 146 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles north of Saint-Victor, descending from 14,790 feet above sea level to 11,288 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,502 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile north of Anneyron, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The final descent started 1 mile south of Estrablin, with the aircraft descending from 10,816 feet above sea level to 2,068 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,749 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 17L at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, heading 175.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 17L, which was 2,708 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 115 knots. The touchdown point was 131 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 100 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 110 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,049 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 220 nautical miles, taking 59 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,761 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, successfully landed at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL) on runway 17L. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 175.0° at an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the pilot executed a smooth touchdown on the runway.
The landing was deemed excellent, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 115 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely. The touchdown point was 131 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 100 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm) was exceptional. This indicates that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and smoothly, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft or injury to passengers. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady course and was well-aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were well within the acceptable limits for landing, and the pilot was able to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground.
The total landing distance was 1,049 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot executing a smooth and controlled touchdown on the runway. The aircraft was well-aligned with the runway, and the pilot had managed to slow it down quickly and safely. The landing distance was relatively short, and the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
