Hold the approach angle
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.
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 1,801 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,801 m of the 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 462 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Embraer E175 began with a 6-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KMOT Minot International Airport. The departure roll on runway 13 covered a distance of 1,171 meters, with the aircraft reaching liftoff speed at 151 knots. The local weather at the time indicated a temperature of -2°C with a 2-knot wind coming from 150°, resulting in a minimal crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The enroute climb commenced 1 mile northeast of Minot, ascending from 2,657 feet above sea level to 34,874 feet above sea level in a rapid 10 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft leveled off for a brief 9-minute cruise 9 miles northeast of 79ND Reimers Airport in Carrington, covering 184 nautical miles.
The descent phase of the flight began 4 miles east of Browerville in Minnesota. The aircraft descended from 35,092 feet above sea level to 2,143 feet above sea level over the course of 20 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
For the final approach to runway 12L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the aircraft approached from the northwest at 4 nautical miles and 1,305 feet above ground level. The landing on the 2,432-meter runway was successful, with a slightly fast touchdown speed of 122 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -251 feet per minute, and the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather at the time of landing was recorded as 0°C with a 3-knot wind coming from 140°, resulting in a slight crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,719 meters, covering 71% of the runway length, with a very good runway rollout alignment.
Finally, the taxi back to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for the journey was 393 nautical miles, lasting a total of 48 minutes and consuming 1,449 kilograms of fuel.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 97.8% is very impressive, indicating a high level of proficiency and skill in various aspects of the landing process.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit, which can be improved to ensure a more precise and controlled descent towards the runway. However, the threshold speed of 129 knots was commendable, demonstrating good speed management and control during this phase of the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is highlighted that the threshold height was good, indicating a smooth and well-coordinated approach towards touchdown. Additionally, the excellent landing flare shows a high level of precision and control in transitioning from descent to touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was fair at -251 ft/min, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown but with room for improvement to achieve a smoother landing. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was slightly fast, suggesting the need for better speed control and awareness during touchdown. However, the touchdown distance of 464 meters was good, reflecting proper timing and coordination in touchdown.
Lastly, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 3.5 meters from the centerline could be improved for better alignment and accuracy in landing.
Overall, your performance in the various phases of the landing process demonstrates a strong foundation in aircraft handling and control, with room for refinement in certain areas to achieve an even higher level of precision and proficiency. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of your flying skills.
