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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,575 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-200, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Sydney Bankstown Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 11C, with the aircraft using 83% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 125 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind of 11 knots at 310°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Condell Park, with the aircraft ascending from 1,051 feet above sea level to 27,835 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,784 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Woongarrah, lasting 92 minutes and covering 549 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles southwest of River Ranch, and descended from 28,663 feet above sea level to 1,792 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,870 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at Rockhampton Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 338.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,736 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with the aircraft using 43% of the runway's length, which was 2,575 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 107 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 389 meters, and the touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 16°C.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 650 nautical miles, taking 123 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,600 kilograms of fuel.
The British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft successfully landed at YBRK Rockhampton Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 33 was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 338.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,736 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 96 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 107 kt. The touchdown distance of 389 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process.
The touchdown rate of -65 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained the correct heading and alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C. The total landing distance of 1,113 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
