See Arrival Final 4
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: gear still up, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Plan view — the full 814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 69 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with taxiing from the parking area at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport to the runway, a journey of 2 nautical miles that took 8 minutes. The departure takeoff took place from runway 24 and required a takeoff distance of 1,140 meters, which represented 34% of the runway's total length. The aircraft became airborne at a speed of 135 knots.
The flight progressed to a point where an enroute climb began, starting over Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,315 feet above sea level to 18,952 feet above sea level, representing an increase of 17,637 feet over a distance of 10 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles.
As the aircraft cruised, it entered an enroute level cruise phase, during which the flight leveled off about one mile north east of Pecy. This cruise lasted for 35 minutes and covered 207 nautical miles.
After this first cruise, the aircraft entered an enroute descent phase from 19,250 feet above sea level to 6,171 feet above sea level, a descent of 13,079 feet over 8 minutes and covering 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off once again, about one mile west of Noyarey, for a short period of 2 minutes, covering a further 6 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft entered another descent phase from 5,987 feet above sea level to 2,580 feet above sea level, covering 8 nautical miles in 3 minutes.
The final phase of the flight involved a final approach to runway 04 at LFLG Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud, which was made from the south west, heading at 40.0°. This approach was followed by a landing on runway 04, with a landing distance of 586 meters, which represented 72% of the runway's total length.
Upon landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment, before being taxied to the parking area, a journey that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance covered 284 nautical miles, and the flight lasted 67 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 2,374 kilograms of fuel.
Landing Report: RJ85 Flight
The RJ85 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04 at LFLG Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud. The approach to the runway commenced from a position 4 nautical miles away, at an altitude of 1,836 feet (agl) and a heading of 40.0° from the southwest.
Throughout the final approach, the aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency, achieving a score of 97.1%. The threshold height was satisfactory, while the threshold speed of 116 knots was optimal for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 69 meters was also well within the expected range.
However, there were a few areas of minor concern during the landing. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly higher than desired, which could have resulted in a firmer touchdown and increased wear and tear on the aircraft. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -347 feet per minute was considered firm. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 3.3 meters.
The local weather conditions were favorable for landing, with a mild temperature of 14°C, minimal wind of 3 knots from a direction of 48°, and a negligible crosswind component. The headwind of 3 knots proved to be beneficial in maintaining a stable descent rate and alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance of 586 meters was within 72% of the available runway length of 814 meters. The runway rollout alignment was flawless, indicating that the aircraft responded well to control inputs during the latter stages of the landing.
Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with the aircraft exhibiting a high level of proficiency and precision. While there were some minor areas for improvement, the flight crew demonstrated excellent skills and expertise in conducting a safe and efficient landing.
