Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lehigh Valley International Airport (KABE), the CRJ900 began its journey on runway 24, accelerating down the 1,430-meter takeoff distance, which covered 66% of the available runway. At a liftoff speed of 153 kt, the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a wind of 17 kt at 280°. The crosswind component was 13 kt, while the headwind component was 11 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Fullerton, Pennsylvania, and continued to ascend to 35,932 ft asl, an increase of 34,687 ft in just 10 minutes, covering 123 nm. The enroute level cruise phase began 3 miles east of Poolesville, Maryland, and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 361 nm. The descent phase started 3 miles west of Oolenoy Valley Airport (SC75) in Pickens, South Carolina, and took 15 minutes to descend from 36,000 ft asl to 2,382 ft asl, covering 118 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26R at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 269.0°, 4 nm from the threshold and 1,322 ft agl.
The CRJ900 landed on runway 26R, which was 2,738 meters long, with a threshold speed of 138 kt and a touchdown speed of 134 kt, slightly above the recommended value. The touchdown distance was 411 meters, and the touchdown rate was -279 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 1 nm in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 611 nm, and the aircraft used 2,956 kg of fuel during the 51-minute flight.
The CRJ900 touched down on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 138 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 411 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating good control and precision.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -279 fpm. This may have been due to the aircraft's momentum carrying over from the approach, but it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.
The CRJ900's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying very close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,317 m, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the crew. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a headwind of 11 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
