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.

The approach before the go-around was abandoned. Its marks are shown, but only the approach that landed counts.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 166 kt with 9.0° 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 271 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 9,747 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 10,939 ft runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted left of the centreline, 6 ft at the widest, and lifted off 6 ft left, in 16 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 4 % 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 1.6 nm, where the final began, to 1.3 nm (up to 470 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 1,510 ft left of the centreline at 1.6 nm, then drifted 240 ft right between 1.2 and 0.5 nm, then inside the band from 0.5 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.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 1.6 nm, where the final began, to 1.3 nm (up to +26 kt), then inside the band to 1.1 nm, then slow to 0.4 nm (up to −29 kt), then fast to the threshold (up to +19 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Rollout
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 50 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,334 ft in, 334 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 910 fpm at 47 ft to 370 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.0° 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 10,939 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 17 ft right of the centreline, and steered back to 5 ft right by the end of the rollout. 16 kt across from the left, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 131 kt. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, away from the wind, 5.3° of bank.
Wind 220° at 21 kt · 13 kt head · 16 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 1,334 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.71 G arrival bounced.
The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.
From 132 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 22 s, an average deceleration of 0.25 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an F-22 Raptor, then departed from runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 1,438 feet, which is 13% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were hot, with a temperature of 101 degrees Fahrenheit, and a moderate wind blowing at 26 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 20 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. After a brief level cruise overhead the airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb from an altitude of 2,650 feet above sea level to 36,988 feet, an increase of 34,338 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles southeast of Whitney, Nevada, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,105 feet to 2,488 feet, a decrease of 34,617 feet in 2 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26R was made from the east, heading 273.0 degrees at an altitude of 364 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
However, the aircraft went around on the first approach at an altitude of 329 feet, then again at 782 feet, and finally at 130 feet. The landing was eventually made on runway 26R, which is 10,939 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 152 knots. The touchdown point was 201 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -370 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind blowing at 21 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 4,332 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline.
The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight took 11 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 8,875 pounds of fuel during the flight.
