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 five 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 and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 313 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an RJ100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSZH Zürich Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft taking off and covering a distance of 1,429 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 289°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Rumlang, Kanton Zurich, Switzerland, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,498 feet above sea level to 30,035 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,537 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Membrey, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 209 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile south west of Bonnieres, Hauts-de-France, France, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 29,709 feet above sea level to 1,990 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,719 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of Sheerness, Kent, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport was from the east, with the aircraft heading 273.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,790 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft performed a go-around at EGLC London City Airport at an altitude of 279 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 took place, with the aircraft covering a distance of 961 meters, which was 72% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 120 knots, but the threshold speed was good at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 313 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 190°, with a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 449 nautical miles, taking 103 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,292 kilograms of fuel.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at EGLC London City Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,790 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 128 kt, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 120 kt was slightly faster than desired, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -352 fpm was firm, indicating a relatively steep descent, but still within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 11 kt at 190°. The crosswind component was 11 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during touchdown.
The total landing distance of 961 meters was 72% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a firm touchdown rate. However, there were some minor deviations in the alignment during both the final approach and the rollout phases, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the pilot's technique.
