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: gear still up, no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 13 at Minot International Airport (KMOT) in North Dakota, United States. The takeoff distance was 1,368 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 19 knots at 109 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 17 knots. After departing from KMOT, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from an altitude of 2,648 feet above sea level to 30,332 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 27,683 feet was achieved in 24 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles north of Hettinger Airport (KHEC) in North Dakota and lasted for 60 minutes, covering a distance of 388 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 11 miles west of Grand Lake in Colorado, descending from an altitude of 30,724 feet above sea level to 9,112 feet above sea level. This decrease in altitude of 21,612 feet was achieved in 14 minutes and covered a distance of 73 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (KASE) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 165.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,386 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 115 knots and a touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 342 meters, which was 62% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 5 knots at 327 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,328 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 596 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 4,160 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) with a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 165.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,386 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 115 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 124 knots. The touchdown distance of 342 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute was also satisfactory, demonstrating a gentle and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 327°. Although there was a slight tailwind component of 5 knots, it did not significantly impact the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to a stable and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,328 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and smoothly on the runway. The high score of 96.7% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities, making it a commendable achievement.
