Work on the flare
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,486 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 513 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 23 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 31R at LFML Marseille Provence Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,258 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LFML Marseille Provence Airport Marignane. The climb took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 151 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,017 feet above sea level to 32,141 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,125 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 74 miles northeast of Es Castell, Spain. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 182 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 64 miles north of Dellys, Algeria. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 31,583 feet above sea level to 5,324 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,259 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Meftah, Algeria. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Larbaa, Algeria. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 5,165 feet above sea level to 1,360 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,805 feet.
The final approach to runway 05 at DAAG Houari Boumediene Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 54.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 3,486 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 123 knots.
The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 110 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -443 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 0°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,030 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 448 nautical miles, which was covered in 93 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,156 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at DAAG Houari Boumediene Airport with a score of 96.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 54.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 05, which has a length of 3,486 meters.
The landing was deemed good, with a satisfactory threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 knots. The touchdown point was located 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 110 knots, which was considered acceptable. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -443 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly abrupt touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,030 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop relatively quickly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score and minimal deviations from the desired touchdown point and speed.
