Flight Score
Keep the taxi smooth
Turn speed is limited by lateral load on the tyres and the people in the back, and lateral acceleration goes with the square of speed. On an illustrative 25 m turn radius, 10 kt produces about 0.11 g of side load, while 20 kt produces about 0.43 g. Doubling the speed quadruples the load. That square law is the entire content of the "10 knots in turns" rule, and it tells you why a slightly-too-fast turn feels fine and a moderately-too-fast one throws the cabin crew across the galley.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,200 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 512 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey on runway 35L, taking off with a takeoff distance of 1,507 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 139 knots, with a local temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then transitioned into its enroute climb phase, starting overhead Pusignan, where it climbed from 1,729 feet above sea level to 17,024 feet, an increase of 15,295 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering into a level cruise phase over Marboz, lasting 5 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles. It then began another climb phase, this time from 17,012 feet to 27,996 feet, an increase of 10,984 feet in 12 minutes, covering 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered into another level cruise phase, this time lasting 16 minutes and covering 119 nautical miles, before starting its descent phase over Ingeldorf, Luxembourg. The descent from 27,509 feet to 1,445 feet took 18 minutes, covering 100 nautical miles.
The RJ85 aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 250.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft landed smoothly, with a touchdown point 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 109 knots and a touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,060 meters, accounting for 33% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 392 nautical miles, taking 74 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,573 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft, an RJ85, successfully executed a final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport from the east, aligning with the heading of 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 122 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 109 kt, which was also within the desired parameters. The touchdown rate of -156 fpm was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 360°, resulting in a zero crosswind and headwind component. This allowed the aircraft to maintain its intended flight path and touchdown point. The total landing distance of 1,060 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout.
Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment during the rollout phase, with perfect runway rollout alignment. The overall performance of the landing was exceptional, with a score of 99.2%. The combination of good approach quality, controlled touchdown, and precise rollout alignment resulted in a safe and efficient landing, showcasing the pilot's skill and expertise.
