MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 41 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 41 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 41 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 582 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 20 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 24R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,041 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 259°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Dorval, Quebec, Canada, where the aircraft ascended from 1,216 feet above sea level to 30,581 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,365 feet in 22 minutes and covering 135 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles southwest of Corinth, New York, United States, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent overhead 04NY Klaverack Airport Hudson, New York, United States, where it descended from 30,690 feet above sea level to 7,269 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,421 feet in 10 minutes and covering 63 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile southwest of Bedford, New York, United States, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 3 miles north of Cos Cob, Connecticut, United States, where it descended from 6,706 feet above sea level to 1,278 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,429 feet in 5 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was from the northeast, with a heading of 236.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, which had a length of 2,135 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being above target and the threshold speed being good at 117 knots.
The touchdown point was 177 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots and a touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,198 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 289 nautical miles, taking 62 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,060 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) on runway 22. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 236.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 89.5%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 117 knots. The touchdown point was 177 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates that the aircraft landed slightly short of the intended location. However, the touchdown speed of 102 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The runway length at KLGA is 2,135 meters, which provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance of 1,198 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 smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop without any issues.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 7.2 meters from the centerline.
