Monitor your 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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,601 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 205 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Embraer E170, then departed from runway 35L at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,074 meters, which was 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 30,257 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,461 feet from the initial altitude of 1,796 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started over the Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached the cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Dun-les-Places, a town in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region of France, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from a height of 30,275 feet above sea level to 1,522 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,753 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at Caen-Carpiquet Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 305.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 at Caen-Carpiquet Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 203 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, and the touchdown rate was firm at -392 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,145 meters, which was 72% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 318 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 1,484 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E170 aircraft successfully landed at Caen-Carpiquet Airport, scoring a high 92.2% on its final approach and landing. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully guided the aircraft onto runway 31, which has a length of 1,601 meters.
The threshold height was well managed, and the threshold speed was above the target speed of 121 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 203 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -392 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
Despite a good overall performance, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a similar issue.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment issues. Overall, the pilot's performance was good, and the aircraft landed safely within the acceptable limits.
