Fixing the bounce
Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

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 1,919 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,919 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 797 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Just Flight RJ100 British Airways model, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LEIB Ibiza Airport. This process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,082 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of LEIB Ibiza Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,170 feet above sea level to 29,216 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,046 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 21 miles east of LEDT Deltebre Airport and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 4 miles southwest of Sort, and climbed from 29,069 feet above sea level to 31,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,943 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 5 miles southwest of Castillon-en-Couserans, and lasted for 87 minutes, covering a distance of 552 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Woburn, and descended from 31,293 feet above sea level to 1,530 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,763 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 231.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 110 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also good at -170 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots at a direction of 45 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both zero knots. The total landing distance was 1,695 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The aircraft then began its taxiing process, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 900 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 164 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,871 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Airways RJ100 aircraft has successfully landed at Manchester Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The final approach to runway 23R was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing were executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 110 knots. The touchdown point was 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 110 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 45°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The runway length of 2,434 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,695 meters, which was 70% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
