Hold the approach speed
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,250 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 204 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the RJ85 CityJet aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at YBBN Brisbane International Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 19L, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,214 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile north of Pinkenba, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,018 feet above sea level to 29,424 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,406 feet in 28 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 130 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 554 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific latitude and longitude of -26.5734076 and 155.386845, respectively. The enroute descent phase began approximately 78 miles southwest of NWWB Bourail - Poé Airport Poé, with the aircraft descending from 29,884 feet above sea level to 1,335 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,549 feet in 20 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at NWWW La Tontouta International Airport took place from the northwest, with the aircraft heading at 121.0° at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 11, which had a length of 3,250 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 102 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 204 meters, and the touchdown speed was 97 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -616 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 34°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 210°, with a crosswind component of 13 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,140 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 787 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 4,965 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, successfully landed at NWWW La Tontouta International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.1%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 102 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 204 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 97 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was heavy, coming in at -616 feet per minute. This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a bit more control during the final stages of the descent to achieve a smoother touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 13 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,140 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, while there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, the pilot's performance was commendable, and the landing was considered successful.
