Hold the approach angle
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: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 469 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at KAEX Alexandria International Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 32, with a takeoff distance of 1,472 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. After departing from KAEX, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of the airport and climbing from 1,178 feet above sea level to 26,845 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,667 feet in 12 minutes, covering 53 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of LA40 F L Braughton Airport Vidalia, lasting 14 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 26,845 feet to 27,927 feet, an increase of 1,082 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, starting 9 miles south of Cloverdale, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, with multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, passing through various locations in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Notable climbs included one from 27,943 feet to 33,029 feet, an increase of 5,086 feet in 3 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles, and another from 22,110 feet to 23,431 feet, an increase of 1,321 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final descent, starting 7 miles east of Valley Grande, descending from 22,354 feet to 19,225 feet, a decrease of 3,129 feet in 3 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then continued its descent, passing through various locations in Alabama and Georgia, before beginning its final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The final approach was made from the east, heading 271.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,358 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 26R, which is 2,738 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 159 knots. The touchdown point was 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 154 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -86 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,391 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 520 nautical miles, taking 114 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,520 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,358 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was found to be above the target speed, reaching 159 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 154 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
Despite the good touchdown characteristics, the aircraft's touchdown point was 59 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,391 meters was 51% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or control input during the rollout phase.
Overall, the CRJ900 aircraft demonstrated a good landing performance, with a high score and excellent touchdown characteristics. However, there were some minor deviations from the intended landing spot and rollout alignment, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's control inputs.
