Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 3,089 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 367 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Marseille Provence Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 13L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 140 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,301 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length, was achieved in a smooth and controlled manner.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,082 feet above sea level, eventually reaching a cruising altitude of 30,852 feet. This climb phase, which lasted 25 minutes, covered a distance of 138 nautical miles and resulted in an impressive increase of 29,771 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed, which started approximately 98 miles northeast of Es Castell, Spain, lasted for 69 minutes and covered a distance of 414 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 9 miles west of Kasserine, Tunisia, and lasted 16 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The descent phase resulted in a decrease of 29,724 feet, bringing the aircraft to an altitude of 1,289 feet above sea level.
As the RJ85 aircraft approached its destination, Djerba Zarzis International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 09 from the west, aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,242 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 103 knots and a touchdown distance of 368 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 877 meters, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 696 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,105 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 122 minutes.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 09 at DTTJ Djerba Zarzis International Airport, with a threshold height that met expectations. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 88.0° from 4 nautical miles away at 1,242 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 114 knots, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 368 meters. The touchdown speed of 103 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled descent.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it slowed down. The total landing distance of 877 meters, which accounted for just 28% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.7% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
