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 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 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 RJ100, then departed from runway 18R at Memphis International Airport (KMEM). The takeoff distance was 2,199 meters, which accounted for 77% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 10 knots. After departing from Memphis, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of Southaven, Mississippi. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,408 feet above sea level to 29,957 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,549 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 146 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 4 miles northeast of Bon Aqua Junction, Tennessee, and lasted for 81 minutes, covering a distance of 551 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile north of Saint Michaels, Maryland, descending from 29,632 feet above sea level to 1,358 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,274 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09R at Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL) was made from the west, heading 75.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,325 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09R was successful, with a runway length of 3,193 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 125 knots. The touchdown distance was 351 meters, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 881 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 782 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 142 minutes. The aircraft used 5,295 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 75.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,325 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09R, which has a length of 3,193 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 125 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track for a smooth landing. The touchdown distance of 351 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 116 knots was also good.
However, the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's technique.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 129°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance of 881 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance and suggests that the pilot had executed a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were demonstrated to be satisfactory.
