Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,611 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,611 m of the 2,653 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 349 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 area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 04 at USDD Salekhard Airport in Russia. The takeoff distance was 1,897 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 139 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of USDD Salekhard Airport. The climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,184 feet above sea level to 27,130 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,946 feet. The enroute level cruise then started 6 miles east of Laborovaya, and it lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 49 miles southeast of USDB Bovanenkovo Airport, and it took 14 minutes to descend from 27,111 feet above sea level to 2,043 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,068 feet. The descent covered a distance of 74 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise 12 miles southwest of USDA Sabetta International Airport, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at USDA Sabetta International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 66.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 2,653 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was 351 meters, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -348 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,528 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.3 meters.
The total flight distance was 304 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used 1,948 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at USDA Sabetta International Airport, achieving a score of 91.3%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 66.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 2,653 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 141 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 351 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -348 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and wind at 12 knots from 80°, may have contributed to this deviation.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,528 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position deviation. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with some minor deviations that can be addressed in future training or operations.
