Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 118 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 125 kt against a target of 118 kt, 7 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 118 kt by the gate and held to 118 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 2,276 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 5.3° against the runway's 3°, centreline 3.2° off, against a 1° limit, wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 69 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 52 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,000 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 283 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 05, utilizing 80% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was 2,473 meters, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 136 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered a local temperature of 34°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots. The enroute climb phase began 1 mile south of Le Haillan, where the aircraft ascended from 1,128 feet above sea level to 29,015 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The climb rate was impressive, with an increase of 27,887 feet in a relatively short period. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 34 minutes and covered 245 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying overhead Lourdes.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, initially from 29,003 feet above sea level to 17,003 feet in 9 minutes, covering 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles, before commencing its final descent phase. This phase saw the aircraft descend from 17,001 feet to 2,442 feet in 7 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then lined up for its final approach to runway 05 at Region de Murcia Intl Airport, touching down at a speed of 118 knots and a touchdown distance of 218 meters. The total landing distance was 1,005 meters, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey after covering a total distance of 491 nautical miles and using 3,177 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an RJ85, successfully executed a final approach to runway 05 at RMU Region de Murcia Intl Airport from the south west, aligning with the heading of 53.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,769 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 124 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 218 meters, with a speed of 118 knots and a rate of descent of -155 feet per minute, both of which were within the desired parameters.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the relatively low crosswind component of 5 knots. The total landing distance of 1,005 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway's length, was well within the acceptable range.
Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect centerline alignment during the rollout phase, demonstrating excellent control and stability. The overall performance of the landing was outstanding, with a score of 99.9% reflecting the high level of proficiency and precision displayed by the crew. The successful execution of the landing, from approach to rollout, was a testament to the crew's skill and expertise.
