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.

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 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 480 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an RJ85, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LEVT Vitoria Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 1,094 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 135 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 276 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead LEVT Vitoria Airport, Alava, in the Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa region of Spain. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,683 feet above sea level to 31,445 feet, an increase of 28,762 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles north of Lucbardez-et-Bargues in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. This phase of the flight lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile west of Aurillac in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 31,260 feet to 8,804 feet, a decrease of 22,456 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead Savas in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This phase of the flight lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, which started overhead Saint-Sorlin-en-Valloire in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 8,657 feet to 3,442 feet, a decrease of 5,215 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead Royas in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This phase of the flight lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35R at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport took place from the south, heading 355.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,708 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 110 knots. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 99 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -289 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 831 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 392 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used 2,706 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL) with a score of 99.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 35R, which has a length of 2,708 meters.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 110 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 99 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to achieve a smoother landing with more precise control.
Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway and on track to land safely. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 14 knots, which the pilot successfully managed to navigate.
The total landing distance of 831 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance and indicates that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing. While there were some minor deviations, the overall score of 99.3% indicates that the landing was safe and effective.
