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.

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 1,947 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,947 m of the 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 403 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Embraer E175 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 22L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 147 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,492 meters accounted for 61% of the runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground in a relatively short distance.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,006 feet above sea level in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile west of Schiller Park, Illinois, and continued until the aircraft reached the desired cruising altitude. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 11 minutes and covering 334 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent. The descent phase saw the aircraft lose 31,265 feet in altitude over a distance of 138 nautical miles, taking 17 minutes to complete.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Raleigh-Durham International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 23R, aligning itself with the runway from the north-east. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 140 knots, which was above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 403 meters was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -278 feet per minute was fair, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 609 nautical miles was completed in 50 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 1,987 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E175 aircraft successfully completed a landing on runway 23R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport, with a final approach initiated from the north east at a heading of 225.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and at an altitude of 1,363 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 140 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly fast touchdown speed of 136 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a fair touchdown rate of -278 feet per minute, which is within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 403 meters was good, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.6 meters, which may have been due to crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a 5-knot headwind, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,865 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was notable for its excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. This suggests that the pilots made a concerted effort to maintain control and correct any deviations from the centreline. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.8%. While there were some minor deviations from optimal performance, the pilots demonstrated good control and adherence to standard operating procedures.
