Keep the wings level on final
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,433 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 36C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) in Charlotte, North Carolina. The takeoff distance was 1,486 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 134 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of KCLT and ascending from an altitude of 1,669 feet above sea level to 31,108 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,439 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south of Hindman, Kentucky, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of OA05 Hogan Airport Mc Gonigle in Ohio, and descended from 31,336 feet above sea level to 27,407 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,929 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of 8II2 Norris Field Liberty in Indiana, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles west of New Paris, Ohio, and descended from 27,345 feet above sea level to 1,801 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,544 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which started overhead 8II5 Holt Field Hoagland in Indiana, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32 at Fort Wayne International Airport (KFWA), approaching from the southeast at a heading of 317.0 degrees, 2 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 775 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32 at KFWA was successful, with a touchdown distance of 414 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 105 knots, and the touchdown rate was -164 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 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 409 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 81 minutes. The aircraft used 2,810 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Fort Wayne International Airport (KFWA) with an impressive score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 32 was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 317.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 775 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 116 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 414 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 105 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe and successful landing.
The total landing distance of 849 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the RJ85 at Fort Wayne International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and attention to detail during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The 99.3% score is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance under challenging weather conditions.
