Hold the approach speed
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 1,579 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,579 m of the 1,983 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 386 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, taking 18 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 21R, with a takeoff distance of 1,288 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, rising from 1,643 feet above sea level to 26,540 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,897 feet in 15 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 25 knots at 229°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 23 knots.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of the Minikey Airport in Sheridan, Michigan, and lasted for 28 minutes, covering 169 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles south-east of Elwood, Illinois, descending from 26,810 feet above sea level to 3,146 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,664 feet in 10 minutes, covering 60 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute level cruises and descents, with the aircraft climbing from 1,600 feet above sea level to 3,501 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles, and then descending from 2,106 feet above sea level to 1,603 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal was made from the east, heading 292.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,111 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good at 389 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 25 knots at 330°, resulting in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The total landing distance was 1,498 meters, which was 76% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 28.2 meters from the centreline.
The flight ended with taxiing to the parking from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 317 nautical miles, taking 74 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,555 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KBMI Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal, achieving an overall score of 87.9%. The final approach to runway 29 was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 292.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,111 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 139 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 389 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -316 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 25 kt blowing from 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 kt and a headwind of 19 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the rollout. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and precision during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,498 meters was 76% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the wind conditions. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 28.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind and headwind affecting the aircraft's directional control.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment.
