Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,964 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 190 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19 at SARP Libertador Gral D Jose De San Martin Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,149 meters, which was 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of SARP Libertador Gral D Jose De San Martin Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,456 feet above sea level to 30,079 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,624 feet, in 23 minutes and covering 137 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31 at SABE Jorge Newbery Airpark was made from the southeast, heading 304.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 925 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 1,964 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 112 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 190 meters, and the touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 610 meters, which was 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 489 nautical miles, and the flight took 74 minutes, using 3,331 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at SABE Jorge Newbery Airpark, achieving a remarkable score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 304.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 925 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 108 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 112 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 190 meters was considered good. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -138 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 17 knots, which the aircraft was able to handle effectively. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing.
The total landing distance of 610 meters was only 31% of the runway length, which is a testament to the aircraft's excellent performance and the pilot's skillful handling. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the RJ85 at SABE Jorge Newbery Airpark was a success, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions. The pilot's skill and the aircraft's capabilities were evident in the smooth and controlled landing, which resulted in a high score of 99.2%.
