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 1,792 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,792 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a CRJ900, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KDAY James M Cox Dayton International Airport. This process took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 24R, and the takeoff distance was 1,191 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 18 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from KDAY, the enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,022 feet above sea level to 34,247 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,225 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northwest of K62 Snyder Falmouth in Kentucky and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 187 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 5 miles south of Walland in Tennessee, with the aircraft descending from 34,811 feet above sea level to 2,356 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,455 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 272.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,309 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 26R, which had a length of 2,738 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 86 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -215 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 300 degrees, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,704 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 387 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes. The aircraft used 2,307 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, achieving a score of 75.8%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 272.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,309 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 132 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 86 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This indicates that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft's ability to handle these wind conditions was satisfactory, but it may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 4.8 meters off-centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,704 meters was 62% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 16.2 meters from centerline. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, while the CRJ900 aircraft achieved a satisfactory landing, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment. These issues can be addressed through further training and practice to enhance the aircraft's performance and safety.
