Slow down earlier
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: 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 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 1,145 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of -3°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from Frankfurt, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Germany. The climb took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,382 feet above sea level to 29,015 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,633 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 95 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Bad Peterstal-Griesbach, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 29,002 feet above sea level to 29,840 feet above sea level, an increase of 838 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The next level cruise started 1 mile south west of Neuenweg, Germany, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering 66 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Estavayer-le-Lac, Switzerland. The descent took 23 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 29,938 feet above sea level to 3,046 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,892 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 107 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another level cruise, this time overhead Charantonnay, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL) was made from the south, heading 355.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,302 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,708 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 120 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 441 meters, and the touchdown speed was 110 knots, which was also good.
However, the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -5°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 935 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 323 nautical miles, and the flight took 73 minutes. The aircraft used 2,293 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL) with a score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 35R, which has a length of 2,708 meters.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed was also good, reaching 120 knots, which is a typical speed for landing. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 441 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 110 knots.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown rate was fair, measuring -226 feet per minute (fpm), which is slightly higher than the ideal rate. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0°. There was no crosswind or tailwind, but a slight headwind of 1 knot was present. The total landing distance was 935 meters, which is 35% of the runway length.
Despite the slight misalignment and higher touchdown rate, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control as it exited the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the end of the runway.
