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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,510 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 m touchdown sits inside 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 35 at UERP Polyarny Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,216 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 130 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -9 °C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 264°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles north of UERP Polyarny Airport, rising from an altitude of 2,481 feet above sea level to 19,412 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,932 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 53 miles northeast of Udachny, Russia, and lasted for 41 minutes, covering a distance of 195 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 20,008 feet above sea level to 19,381 feet above sea level, a decrease of 627 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The descent started at a latitude of 68.8628941 and a longitude of 121.1862862.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting at a latitude of 68.9337042 and a longitude of 121.5111136, and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 186 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 39 miles southwest of UEST Tiksi Airport, Tiksi, Russia, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 19,299 feet above sea level to 2,183 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,116 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at UEST Tiksi Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 7.0° at 4 nautical miles and 2,143 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a runway length of 2,510 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 122 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 427 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 110 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -279 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16 °C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 197°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 903 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 491 nautical miles, taking 120 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,188 kilograms of fuel.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at UEST Tiksi Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 7.0° at an altitude of 2,143 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 110 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 427 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 197°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 14 knots, which could have affected the aircraft's stability and control during the landing. Despite these conditions, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 903 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft down quickly and smoothly, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good touchdown distance and a very good runway touchdown alignment. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was only fair. Despite these minor issues, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft down safely and smoothly, achieving a high score of 96.8%.
