Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 479 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 22R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 765-meter stretch of the runway that comprised 26% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 139 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off the ground, taking advantage of the 4-knot headwind and minimal crosswind conditions.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,014 feet above sea level to 32,009 feet, a vertical increase of 30,995 feet over a distance of 132 nautical miles. This climb phase took 24 minutes to complete, with the aircraft passing through the designated enroute level cruise altitude of 32,000 feet as it flew over the Rendsburg-Schachtholm Airfield in Germany. The subsequent 40-minute cruise phase covered a distance of 265 nautical miles, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed. As the aircraft began its descent over Wespelaar in Belgium, it started its gradual descent from 32,000 feet to 1,725 feet, a decrease of 30,275 feet over a distance of 158 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 27R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 265.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 111 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -120 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft's total landing distance was 998 meters, which comprised 37% of the runway's total length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 566 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,698 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27R at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -120 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown speed of 111 kt was within the acceptable range, and the threshold speed of 123 kt was good, demonstrating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown point was 52 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the ideal but still within acceptable limits.
The approach quality was excellent, with a very good runway touchdown alignment. The aircraft maintained its centerline alignment throughout the rollout, resulting in a perfect runway rollout alignment. The total landing distance of 998 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, with a final score of 98.8%. The slight deviation from the target threshold height and the touchdown point beyond the touchdown zone were minor issues, but the aircraft's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway rollout alignment more than made up for these minor discrepancies. The landing was a testament to the crew's skill and experience, and the aircraft's capabilities.
