Slow down earlier
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Plan view — the full 1,406 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 53 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an ATR 72, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Raleigh Regional Airport, located at Person County. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 839 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 119 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. After departing from the airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport at an altitude of 1,552 feet above sea level. The climb continued for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 8,721 feet in altitude, reaching a height of 10,273 feet above sea level.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of the Smoke and Wings Airport in Hillsborough, North Carolina, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, which started 3 miles north of the same airport. This climb continued for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 5,491 feet in altitude, reaching a height of 15,980 feet above sea level.
The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile northeast of Saxapahaw, North Carolina, and lasted for 60 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles east of Kershaw, South Carolina. This descent continued for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 7,626 feet in altitude, reaching a height of 7,590 feet above sea level.
The enroute level cruise started 11 miles northeast of Ridgeway, South Carolina, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, which started 4 miles northeast of Ridgeway. This descent continued for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 5,549 feet in altitude, reaching a height of 2,577 feet above sea level.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of Dentsville, South Carolina, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, which started 2 miles north of Dentsville. This descent continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 673 feet in altitude, reaching a height of 1,601 feet above sea level.
The enroute climb started 3 miles east of Woodfield, South Carolina, and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 879 feet in altitude, reaching a height of 2,488 feet above sea level. The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northeast of Gwinn Field Hopkins, South Carolina, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Gadsden, South Carolina, and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 876 feet in altitude, reaching a height of 1,870 feet above sea level. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southeast of Hopkins, South Carolina, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at KCUB Jim Hamilton L.B. Owens Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,558 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 100 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 52 meters. The touchdown speed of 97 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 6.3 meters off the centerline. This minor discrepancy may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 240°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline during touchdown.
Overall, the ATR 72 aircraft demonstrated good handling and control during the landing, with a high score indicating a successful and safe operation.
