Track the centreline on final
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 full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 199 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted using the Just Flight RJ100 British Airways model, taking off from YCBP Coober Pedy Airport in Coober Pedy, South Australia. The aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 22, utilizing 85% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was 1,207 meters, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 135 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
Following takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, commencing approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb involved an ascent from an altitude of 934 feet above sea level to 800 feet above sea level, an increase of 134 feet, which was achieved in less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its final approach to landing, descending from an altitude of 112 feet above ground level to 1 nautical mile away from the airport. The approach was conducted in a controlled manner, with the aircraft maintaining a steady descent rate.
Upon reaching the landing site, located 3 miles west of YCBP Coober Pedy Airport, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 42 feet above ground level to the ground. This descent was completed in a mere 3 seconds, resulting in a very heavy touchdown rate of -794 feet per minute.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 108 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown distance was 199 meters, also deemed satisfactory. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
In conclusion, the flight was completed in a total distance of 3 nautical miles, taking approximately 3 minutes to complete, and utilized 173 kilograms of fuel.
The British Airways RJ100 aircraft has successfully landed at Coober Pedy Airport in South Australia, Australia. The final approach to landing was initiated from a distance of 1 nautical mile, with the aircraft at an altitude of 112 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot expertly guided the aircraft towards the runway, navigating through the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, but a slight headwind of 1 knot. The pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions was evident in the smooth execution of the landing.
As the aircraft descended from an altitude of 42 feet agl to the ground, it experienced a significant rate of descent, reaching -794 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered a heavy touchdown rate, but the pilot managed to maintain control and bring the aircraft to a safe stop. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown distance of 199 meters was also satisfactory.
The landing was deemed successful, with a score of 91.8% achieved. The pilot's skill and experience were evident in the precise execution of the landing, despite the challenging weather conditions. The aircraft's performance was also noteworthy, with a smooth and controlled descent to the ground. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
