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.

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 1,665 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,665 m of the 2,437 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 604 m past the threshold — beyond 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 21R at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW). The takeoff distance was 1,197 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KDTW and ascending from 1,677 feet above sea level to 31,031 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,353 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 14 miles north of Lakewood, Ohio, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and descending from 31,160 feet above sea level to 2,953 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,207 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Haunstein Ultralightport, Shermans Dale, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles west of Enola, Pennsylvania, and descending from 3,100 feet above sea level to 1,544 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,556 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at Harrisburg International Airport (KMDT) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 116.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,232 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13, which had a length of 2,437 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots.
The touchdown point was 188 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 80 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,584 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 337 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 1,762 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KMDT Harrisburg International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 116.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,232 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 13, which has a length of 2,437 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots. However, the touchdown point was 188 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,584 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown point and speed. However, the smooth touchdown rate and good runway rollout alignment suggest that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
