See Arrival Final 2
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,567 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 230 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 16L at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,318 meters, which was 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and winds of 7 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Normandy Park, Washington, and continued for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,293 feet above sea level to 29,573 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,280 feet.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 12 miles west of Youbou, British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 59 minutes, covering a distance of 579 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles east of Kake Airport, Alaska, and descended from 30,061 feet above sea level to 3,024 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,037 feet, in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles south west of Juneau Harbor Seaplane Base, Alaska, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at Juneau International Airport was made from the east, heading 273.0 degrees, at 2 nautical miles and 672 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 230 meters, which was 27% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 112 knots, and the touchdown rate was -163 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 a temperature of 23°C and winds of 9 knots at 260 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 802 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 114 minutes. The aircraft used 5,172 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at PAJN Juneau International Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 26 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 273.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 672 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision, touching down on the runway with a speed of 112 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 118 knots. The touchdown distance of 230 meters was also well within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which the aircraft was able to handle effectively. The runway length of 2,567 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 693 meters, which accounted for only 27% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of precision and control, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent handling and stability throughout the entire process.
