Hold the approach angle
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.

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 3,746 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, then departed from runway 07L at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX). The takeoff distance was 902 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 134 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KPHX and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,157 feet above sea level to 31,328 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,171 feet in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 156 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 16 miles east of Bowie, Arizona, and lasted for 62 minutes, covering a distance of 491 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles north of TE15 M and took the aircraft from an altitude of 31,229 feet above sea level to 4,382 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,847 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles west of Mustang Ridge, Texas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south of Mustang Ridge and took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,132 feet above sea level to 2,048 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,084 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36L at Austin Bergstrom International Airport (KAUS) was made from the south, with a heading of 2.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,536 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 36L, which had a length of 3,746 meters. The threshold height at 57 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 106 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 414 meters, with a touchdown speed of 95 knots and a touchdown rate of -312 feet per minute, which was firm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 349 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
The total landing distance was 706 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 778 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 125 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,215 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CityJet RJ85 aircraft successfully landed at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport, achieving a score of 97.9%. The final approach to runway 36L was conducted from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,536 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 95 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 414 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -312 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 349°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 18 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing.
The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed of 106 knots was slightly below the target. However, these minor deviations did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a safe distance and speed. The pilot's ability to manage the wind conditions and maintain a stable approach and landing was evident in the performance of the aircraft.
