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.

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 2,622 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 234 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Just Flight RJ100 British Airways model, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Sacramento International Airport (KSMF). This process took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. Once at the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 35L, with a takeoff distance of 1,109 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 279°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of KSMF, with the aircraft ascending from 1,051 feet above sea level to 31,251 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,200 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 4 miles northeast of Hawthorne Industrial Airport (KHTH) in Nevada. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 266 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 13 miles west of Hinckley, Utah, and descending from 31,284 feet above sea level to 9,874 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,411 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles west of West Mountain, Utah, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed 3 miles east of Eagle Mountain, Utah, with the aircraft descending from 9,829 feet above sea level to 5,777 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,053 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at Provo-Utah Lake International Airport (KPVU) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 147.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 92 knots and a touchdown distance of 232 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -140 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 235°, with no crosswind or headwind components. The total landing distance was 1,046 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 498 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes. The aircraft used 3,172 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The British Airways RJ100 aircraft has successfully landed at KPVU Provo-Utah Lake International Airport, achieving a score of 91.6%. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 147.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 98 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 232 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 92 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -140 feet per minute.
One minor issue was observed during the landing, as the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline. This deviation from the centerline may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's technique to improve future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 235°. There was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, which made the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance of 1,046 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with only minor issues to address in future approaches.
