Hold the approach speed
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,361 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,370 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The F-22 Raptor took off from runway 05 at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport, located in Samara, Russia. The aircraft rolled down the runway for 1,565 feet, which accounted for 19% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude.
As the F-22 Raptor climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°F temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,068 feet above sea level to 1,659 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
After reaching the desired altitude, the F-22 Raptor began its final approach to runway 05 at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport. The aircraft approached from the north-east, heading 138.0°, and was at an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady heading and altitude as it prepared for landing.
The F-22 Raptor landed on runway 05, which had a length of 8,361 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 150 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,374 feet, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -236 feet per minute.
The F-22 Raptor's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 15 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°F temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 110°, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a headwind component of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 4,424 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 28 feet.
The F-22 Raptor's total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12,047 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The F-22 Raptor has successfully landed at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport, achieving a score of 94.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 138.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,210 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, touching down on runway 05, which has a length of 8,361 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 150 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,374 feet was within the expected parameters, and the touchdown speed of 142 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centreline. This minor deviation may have been due to the crosswind, which was 4 knots, or the headwind, which was 3 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 110°, may have also contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 4,424 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline. Overall, the F-22 Raptor's landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
