Be on speed by the gate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 44 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 326 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Brussels Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately six minutes and covered a distance of two nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 25R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 42% of the 1,278-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind of four knots from a direction of 170 degrees, resulting in a minimal headwind component of one knot.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead Diegem, Flanders, Belgium, marking the beginning of its enroute climb phase. Over the course of 21 minutes, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,132 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 28,971 feet, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, which lasted 18 minutes and spanned 128 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its descent, starting one mile north of Premery, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 28,996 feet to 2,115 feet, a total decrease of 26,881 feet, over a distance of 125 nautical miles and a duration of 22 minutes.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft aligned itself with runway 17L at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, heading 175 degrees at an altitude of 1,199 feet above ground level and a distance of four nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed smoothly on the 2,708-meter runway, achieving a touchdown speed of 115 knots and a touchdown rate of -120 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,013 meters, utilizing 37% of the available runway length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took five minutes and covered a distance of one nautical mile. The total flight distance was 381 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 73 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,388 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 17L at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with a steady descent rate of -120 fpm, allowing the crew to maintain a good threshold speed of 123 kt. The touchdown speed of 115 kt was also well within the desired range, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown distance of 344 m that was well within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 0 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and tailwind components were negligible, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach path.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,013 m was 37% of the runway length, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of precision and control, with a score of 99.9% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
