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 five 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 and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 265 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E190 aircraft took off from Edinburgh Airport, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 6 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The departure roll was conducted on runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 996 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Newbridge, Scotland, and ascended from an altitude of 1,140 feet above sea level to 34,950 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,810 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Gisburn, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Ketton, England, and descended from 34,967 feet above sea level to 1,906 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,060 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at London City Airport was conducted from the east, with a heading of 273.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,873 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was conducted on runway 27, which had a length of 1,334 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 133 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 267 meters, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was good at -188 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 816 meters, which was 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 373 nautical miles, taking 43 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,206 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at London City Airport (EGLC) on runway 27, achieving a score of 93.1%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,873 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,334 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 133 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 267 meters, which is within the expected range for an aircraft of this size. However, the touchdown speed was slightly faster than desired, coming in at 126 knots. This may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate, which was still reported as good at -188 feet per minute (fpm).
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation by the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 280°, may have also played a role in the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 816 meters, which is 61% 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. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, the Embraer E190 aircraft performed well during the landing at London City Airport, achieving a high score and demonstrating its ability to operate safely and efficiently in challenging weather conditions.
