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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 313 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Embraer E190 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London City Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 802 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind of 10 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Canary Wharf in Greater London, England. It climbed from 999 feet above sea level to 2,882 feet, an increase of 1,883 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting overhead Canary Wharf and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. It then began another enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Woodford Green in Greater London, England. This climb was more significant, taking the aircraft from 2,786 feet to 33,998 feet, an increase of 31,211 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Baslow in Derbyshire, England, and lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting overhead EGPV Bedlands Gate airstrip in Penrith, Cumbria, England. The descent took the aircraft from 32,248 feet to 3,308 feet, a decrease of 28,940 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles north of Cockenzie in East Lothian, Scotland, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. It then began its final descent, starting 2 miles south of Kinghorn in Fife, Scotland. The descent took the aircraft from 2,931 feet to 1,627 feet, a decrease of 1,303 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport, flying from the north east at a heading of 239.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,505 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 315 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was fast at 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a wind of 10 knots at 230 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,262 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 320 nautical miles, taking 39 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,944 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) on runway 24, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,505 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 315 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly higher than expected, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast on touchdown. The touchdown rate was firm, at -306 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 3.2 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a slight drift during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,262 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but may have been slightly longer than expected. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a stable rollout. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
