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.

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 3,203 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 528 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Just Flight RJ100 British Airways model, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Birmingham International Airport (EGBB). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 15, with a takeoff distance of 1,138 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Hampton in Arden, Solihull, England, and ascended from an altitude of 1,412 feet above sea level to 27,835 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,423 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles southeast of Swanage, Dorset, England, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 766 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles east of Córdoba Airport (LEBA) in Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain, and descended from 28,123 feet above sea level to 2,869 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,254 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise 25 miles south of Rincon de la Victoria, Andalusia, Spain, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The final enroute descent started 10 miles southeast of Torremolinos, Andalusia, Spain, and descended from 2,853 feet above sea level to 1,325 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,528 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (LEMG) was made from the southeast, heading 312.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 3,203 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 122 knots.
The touchdown point was 105 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 106 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -188 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,312 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,015 nautical miles, taking 102 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,933 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ100 British Airways Colombia, successfully landed at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (LEMG) on runway 31. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 122 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 105 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 106 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also within acceptable limits at -188 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.8 meters off-centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 110°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance was 1,312 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were effectively utilized to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 95.7%.
