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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3.7° glideslope, 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 2,180 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 125 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 17R at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,145 meters, which was 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,803 feet above sea level to 31,823 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,021 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles. This phase started 4 miles northwest of Saint-Auban, France. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 11 miles southeast of Antibes, France. The descent from 31,845 feet above sea level to 1,010 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,834 feet, took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 209.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 951 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 20 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 123 meters, which was 31% of the runway. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 116 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -360 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 665 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 283 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 62 minutes. The aircraft used 1,927 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at LFKJ Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport with a score of 96.7%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 209.0° at 1 nautical mile and 951 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 20, which has a length of 2,180 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 119 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 123 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
However, the touchdown speed of 116 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have affected the overall comfort of the passengers.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft after touchdown and bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more challenging. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown.
