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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,206 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,249 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E190 aircraft took off from Kurumoch International Airport, located in Samara, Russia, on runway 05. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll, lifting off the ground at a speed of 136 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 28 °F, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 189 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started 3 miles northeast of Kurumoch International Airport. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,200 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,714 feet, an increase of 34,513 feet, in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 15 miles northwest of Yershov, Russia, and lasted for 85 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 606 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 18 miles south of Adler, Russia. The descent phase was characterized by a decrease in altitude from 36,766 feet to 1,364 feet, a decrease of 35,402 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 02 at Sochi International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 26.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 02 at Sochi International Airport, which had a length of 8,206 feet. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -103 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 25 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43 °F, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 310 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
After landing, the aircraft began its taxiing process to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 774 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 140 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -2,128 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at URSS Sochi International Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 02 was conducted from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 126 knots was also satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 1,248 feet, and the touchdown speed of 119 knots was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -103 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 25 feet off the centreline of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 4,085 feet was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 32 feet from the centreline of the runway. Despite this minor deviation, the overall landing performance of the Embraer E190 was satisfactory, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
