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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,502 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 129 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport (CYQB), the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 24, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle headwind of 9 kt at 234°. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 132 kt, utilizing 40% of the available runway length of 1,103 m.
As the RJ85 climbed away from CYQB, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,230 ft to 29,692 ft in a mere 19 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nm. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 29,692 ft for 31 minutes as it traversed 198 nm. The crew initiated a descent from 30,014 ft to 5,997 ft over Palenville, New York, a decrease of 24,017 ft in 16 minutes, covering 89 nm. Following a brief level cruise over Basking Ridge, New Jersey, the RJ85 began its final descent, touching down on runway 22L at Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) with a touchdown speed of 100 kt and a touchdown distance of 130 m. The total landing distance was 829 m, utilizing 33% of the available runway length of 2,502 m.
The RJ85's performance during the approach and landing phases was satisfactory, with a firm touchdown rate of -335 fpm and a runway touchdown position that was slightly misaligned by 6.5 m from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 446 nm, and the RJ85 utilized 2,899 kg of fuel during the 90-minute journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing phase. The threshold speed of 103 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 130 m was well within the desired range, and the touchdown speed of 100 kt was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -335 fpm was firm, indicating a slight loss of control during the final stages of the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the 4 kt crosswind component. Despite this, the local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt. The aircraft's performance was further aided by the runway's length of 2,502 m, which provided ample space for the landing and rollout phases.
The rollout phase was executed well, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the centreline. The total landing distance of 829 m was 33% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.6% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal performance.
