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.

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 2,713 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 236 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 Embraer E175, then departed from runway 09 at Logan International Airport (KBOS) in Boston, Massachusetts. The takeoff distance was 1,089 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Winthrop, Massachusetts, and ascending from 1,028 feet above sea level to 32,382 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,354 feet in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Dover, Vermont, and lasting for 25 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 581 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile north of Chicora Field Allegan in Michigan, where the aircraft descended from 32,266 feet above sea level to 3,371 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,896 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting overhead Caledonia, Wisconsin, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. However, the descent from 3,026 feet above sea level to 1,999 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,027 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles, was initiated shortly after. The final approach to runway 01L at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was made from the south, with a heading of 7.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 01L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 233 meters and a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -291 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 60 degrees, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,216 meters, accounting for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 766 nautical miles, taking 60 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,862 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully landed at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) on runway 01L. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 7.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 138 knots. This suggests that the pilots may have been attempting to maintain a high level of control and stability during the landing. The touchdown distance of 233 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a higher-than-ideal touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers and may require additional control inputs from the pilots.
One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 14.5 meters. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions and pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 60°.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the misalignment of the touchdown position. The total landing distance of 1,216 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 14.0 meters. This may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the misaligned touchdown position. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
