Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 2,960 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 299 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at KPVU Provo-Utah Lake International Airport. The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ100 British Airways Colum, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,578 meters, which was 78% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 140 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 122 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, rising from an altitude of 5,499 feet above sea level to 31,681 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,183 feet in 27 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 133 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 9 miles west of Minersville, Utah, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 335 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile east of KBWC Brawley Municipal Airport in Brawley, California, and lasted for 22 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 32,714 feet above sea level to 780 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,934 feet. This descent covered a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at MMTJ Aeropuerto Internacional Gral. Abelardo Rodriguez was made from the east, heading 279.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 296 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 299 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 105 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -371 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 290 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 890 meters, which was 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 549 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 3,760 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Airways RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at MMTJ Aeropuerto Internacional Gral. Abelardo Rodriguez, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 279.0° at an altitude of 296 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
As the aircraft began its final approach, it maintained a steady heading and altitude, indicating a high degree of control and stability. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not appear to affect the overall performance of the landing. The threshold speed was good, at 111 knots, which is a key indicator of a well-executed approach.
The touchdown distance of 299 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a steady descent rate and touch down at the correct point on the runway. The touchdown speed of 105 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -371 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind of 6 knots at 290°, were relatively calm and did not pose any significant challenges for the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 890 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance and indicates a high degree of control and precision in the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a steady and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the British Airways RJ100 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures, with a score of 95.0%. The landing was well-executed and demonstrated a high degree of control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
