Hold the approach speed
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 170 kt with 6.4° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 220 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 5,627 ft of runway left.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.
Plan view the roll down the 8,361 ft runway.
Rolled from 384 ft in, drifted 20 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 22 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
High from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to 0.9 nm (up to 310 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 1,210 ft right of the centreline at 1.4 nm, then inside the band from 0.9 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Rollout
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 18 ft, 32 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,370 ft in, 370 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 440 fpm at 18 ft to 240 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,361 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 15 ft right of the centreline and drifted to 28 ft right on the rollout, back to 6 ft right by the end. 4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 142 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 110° at 5 kt · 3 kt head · 4 kt across
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.
The 1,370 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.22 G arrival bounced 3 times.
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.
