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 3,400 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 176 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the RJ85 CityJet aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 17R, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 37% of the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots blowing from the east.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile south of the airport and ascended from an initial altitude of 2,553 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 30,934 feet, an increase of 28,381 feet in just 21 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 146 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, during which the aircraft flew at a steady altitude for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 782 nautical miles. This phase started 21 miles southeast of Los Tricahues Airport in Chile.
The enroute descent phase began 9 miles north of Colquechaca in Bolivia, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,241 feet to 9,961 feet, a decrease of 21,280 feet in just 14 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 32 at Jorge Wilsterman International Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 312.0° at an altitude of 1,593 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 32 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 107 knots and a touchdown distance of 178 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -372 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots blowing from the west.
The total landing distance was 743 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,002 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,384 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, successfully landed at SLCB Jorge Wilsterman International Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,593 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 110 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 178 meters. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -372 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre by 7.9 meters. These deviations were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions were well within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a total distance of 743 meters, which is approximately 22% of the runway length. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth execution of the landing, despite the minor deviations from the ideal touchdown position and rollout alignment.
