Slow down earlier
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: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed 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 2,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 482 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 29R at the SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport in Brasília, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,066 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 115 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 4,463 feet above sea level to 31,023 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,561 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles. This phase began 6 miles west of the SNMP Fazenda Marocopa Airport in Paracatu, Brazil. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles west of the SNMM Morada Nova de Minas Airport in Morada Nova De Minas, Brazil. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,983 feet above sea level to 4,151 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,833 feet.
The final approach to runway 13 at the SBBH Pampulha - Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 111.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,548 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13, which had a length of 2,360 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 120 knots. The touchdown point was 60 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 109 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,253 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
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 333 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 2,075 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, an RJ85, successfully landed at SBBH Pampulha - Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 111.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,548 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 120 knots. The touchdown point was located 60 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 109 knots was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -113 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 3.1 meters, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,253 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short period of time. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a straight line and without any deviation from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a controlled manner. The slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the slightly above-target threshold speed were minor issues, but did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the landing.
