Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,221 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 264 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 30L at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP). The takeoff distance was 1,195 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead KMSP, rising from an altitude of 1,885 feet above sea level to 15,028 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,143 feet in 6 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 1 mile west of Randolph, Minnesota, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles north of Kenyon, Minnesota, descending from 14,988 feet above sea level to 3,052 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,936 feet in 10 minutes and covering 38 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 3 miles north of Grand Meadow, Minnesota, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 02 at the Rochester International Airport (KRST) was made from the southwest, heading 25.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,299 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 265 meters and a touchdown speed of 119 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -441 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees. The total landing distance was 1,282 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 82 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 694 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KRST Rochester International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 25.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,299 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 02, which has a length of 2,221 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 123 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 265 meters, and the touchdown speed of 119 knots was also within acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard at -441 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft was touching down with a higher rate of descent than desired. This could be due to a number of factors, including the aircraft's approach configuration, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's alignment or the aircraft's drift during the approach. However, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 knot at 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The total landing distance was 1,282 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. However, there are some areas for improvement, including the touchdown rate and the runway touchdown position.
