Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 2,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 514 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Brussels 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. Upon reaching runway 25R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,287-meter stretch of the runway, which accounted for 39% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 139 knots, overcoming the local wind conditions of 4 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead Diegem, Flanders, Belgium, and continued its ascent to 28,877 feet above sea level, a gain of 27,749 feet in just 23 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced approximately 1 mile northwest of Pierre-Levee, Ile-de-France, France, and lasted for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 104 nautical miles. As the aircraft began its descent, it passed 2 miles east of Chateauneuf-Val-de-Bargis, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France, and descended from 28,998 feet to 2,123 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,875 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 356.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,319 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed smoothly on the 2,705-meter runway, with a touchdown point 110 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 107 knots. The total landing distance was 1,093 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 395 nautical miles, with a flight time of 80 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,568 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 35R at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The threshold speed of 120 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 107 kt, which was good, and a rate of -261 fpm, which was fair. The touchdown point was located 110 m beyond the touchdown zone, a relatively minor deviation from the ideal touchdown position.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline. This was a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 0 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, with 0 kt and 1 kt respectively, further contributing to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,093 m, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 98.7% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot. The approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout all contributed to a safe and efficient landing on runway 35R at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport.
