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 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: 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: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,847 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 23 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,418 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 209 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Cheektowaga, New York. The climb took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,703 feet above sea level to 29,151 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,449 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Brennan Personal Use Airport in Zelienople, Pennsylvania. This phase lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 410 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles northwest of Warren County Memorial Airport in Mc Minnville, Tennessee. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 29,109 feet above sea level to 1,080 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,029 feet.
The final approach to runway 18R at KHSV Huntsville International Carl T Jones Field was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 181.0 degrees at an altitude of 441 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 18R, which had a length of 3,847 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 111 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 297 meters, and the touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -396 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 193 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 749 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 629 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used 4,209 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at KHSV Huntsville International Carl T Jones Field, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 18R was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 181.0° at 1 nautical mile and 441 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,847 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 111 knots, suggesting a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 297 meters was deemed good, and the touchdown speed of 102 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -396 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled impact with the runway.
Despite a slight misalignment of 6.0 meters from the centerline, the runway touchdown position was not significantly off-target. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 193°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which likely contributed to the controlled approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 749 meters was 19% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 96.6%.
