See Arrival Final 4
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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope 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 2,032 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 274 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 23 at Glasgow International Airport (EGPF). The takeoff distance was 931 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 209 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Linwood, Scotland, and ascended from 1,053 feet above sea level to 29,212 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,159 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southeast of Portaferry, Northern Ireland, and lasted 32 minutes, covering 209 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 6 miles west of Bude, England, and descended from 29,768 feet above sea level to 7,931 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,837 feet, in 22 minutes and covering 122 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise 6 miles north of Ile-de-Batz, France, and lasted 9 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile north of Chateauneuf-du-Faou, France, and descended from 7,958 feet above sea level to 5,086 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,872 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise 1 mile east of Leuhan, France, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Tourch, France, and descended from 4,572 feet above sea level to 1,977 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,595 feet, in 4 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Quimper-Cornouaille Airport (LFRQ) was made from the east, heading 273.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,662 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 275 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 109 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -211 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 760 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 497 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 3,287 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at LFRQ Quimper-Cornouaille Airport with a score of 98.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,662 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 27, which has a length of 2,032 meters.
The approach and landing were executed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 116 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 275 meters. The touchdown speed of 109 knots was satisfactory, but the touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This indicates that the aircraft touched down slightly harder than desired.
Despite the slightly higher-than-desired touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots.
The total landing distance of 760 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with a high score of 98.2%. The only area for improvement was the slightly higher-than-desired touchdown rate, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the landing.
