Keep the wings level on final
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.

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 1,219 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at SNNU Nanuque Airport, a small airport in Brazil. The Embraer EMB121 aircraft accelerated down the 961-meter runway, covering 79% of its length, before lifting off into the air at a speed of 103 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were mild, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from the northwest.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 818 feet above sea level to 1,307 feet, a gain of 489 feet in just one minute. This climb phase covered a distance of one nautical mile. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for two minutes while covering a further two nautical miles.
After a short period of level flight, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 10 at SNNU Nanuque Airport. The approach was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 73.0° and at an altitude of 495 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot from the northwest.
The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 106 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, covering 446 meters of the 1,219-meter runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was also spot on.
The total landing distance was 714 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 55 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of four nautical miles and took a total of nine minutes to complete. Overall, the flight was a smooth and efficient operation, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions.
The Embraer EMB121 aircraft successfully landed at SNNU Nanuque Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.8%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 73.0° at 1 nautical mile and 495 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 57 feet agl, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was significantly above the target threshold speed, reaching 119 knots. This excessive speed may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 106 knots, which is considered fast. The touchdown distance of 446 meters was deemed good, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight loss of altitude during the touchdown process.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 714 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed management and touchdown rate.
