Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 106 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 115 kt, 9 kt above the 106 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 106 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 348 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 22 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, LSGG, with a takeoff distance of 780 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 132 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 18 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Le Grand-Saconnex, Geneve, Switzerland, where the aircraft climbed from 2,390 feet above sea level to 21,881 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,490 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started overhead Vuadens, Canton de Fribourg, Switzerland, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 22,237 feet above sea level to 31,135 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,898 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile south of Sibratsgfaell, Vorarlberg, Austria, and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 5 miles west of Feistritz an der Gail, Kaernten, Austria, and descended from 31,428 feet above sea level to 11,102 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,326 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 4 miles north of Attimis, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles north of Srednja Vas v Bohinju, Radovljica, Slovenia, and descended from 11,101 feet above sea level to 2,532 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,570 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, LJLJ, was made from the south east, heading 307.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30, which was 3,297 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 116 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 349 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 110 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -2 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 259°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 864 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 409 nautical miles, and the flight took 124 minutes, using 2,750 kilograms of fuel.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at LJLJ Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 307.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,297 meters.
The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent. Similarly, the threshold speed of 116 knots was also slightly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than desired during the approach. However, the touchdown distance of 349 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 110 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -2 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain a stable rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach. However, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 259°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which was relatively minimal.
The total landing distance of 864 meters was 26% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.0%.
