Hold the approach speed
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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 50 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 16L at KJAN Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,305 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KJAN Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,384 feet above sea level to 29,169 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,785 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 4 miles southwest of Butler, Alabama, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles northeast of KSEM Craig Field Selma, Alabama, and descended from an altitude of 29,052 feet above sea level to 12,052 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,001 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 2 miles southwest of Newnan, Georgia, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Redan, Georgia, and descended from an altitude of 12,027 feet above sea level to 2,675 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,351 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,627 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26R, which had a length of 2,738 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 123 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 49 meters, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -982 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,256 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. 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 343 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 1,859 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 84.8%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,627 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 122 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 123 knots. The touchdown distance of 49 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate, however, was quite heavy at -982 feet per minute (fpm), which may be a concern for the aircraft's landing gear and overall safety.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance of 1,256 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good speed and distance. However, the heavy touchdown rate may require further investigation to ensure the aircraft's safety and to identify any potential issues that may need to be addressed.
