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 6,311 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,311 ft of the 8,361 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,526 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Embraer E190 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll from runway 19L at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 7,315 feet, which is 55% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered a local weather condition of 94°F temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 190°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south of Suvarnabhumi Airport and reached an altitude of 33,454 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,604 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 19 miles northeast of Sangklaburi Airstrip in Thailand and lasted for 139 minutes, covering a distance of 1,084 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and descend at various points during the flight, with notable climbs at 4 miles northwest of Mehnagar in India, 6 miles southwest of Khairabad in India, and 19 miles southwest of Aral in Kazakhstan. Each of these climbs was brief, lasting only a few minutes, and resulted in a significant increase in altitude.
The aircraft also experienced several level cruise phases, including a 197-minute cruise at an altitude of 36,862 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 1,436 nautical miles. Another notable level cruise phase started 18 miles southwest of Aral in Kazakhstan and lasted for 72 minutes, covering a distance of 525 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 19 miles northwest of Buzuluk Airport in Russia. The descent from 37,455 feet above sea level to 8,856 feet above sea level was a decrease of 28,599 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruise phases, including a 48-minute cruise at an altitude of 8,837 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at Kurumoch International Airport in Samara, Russia, was from the southwest, with a heading of 63.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,591 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was smooth, with a touchdown point 1,084 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which is faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate was good at -171 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 6,969 feet, which is 83% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 3,468 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 478 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 32,960 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at Kurumoch International Airport, achieving a score of 90.7%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the southwest, heading 63.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,591 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was found to be above the target speed, reaching 127 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed good, indicating a controlled descent.
The touchdown point was located 1,084 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. This may be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The runway touchdown position was also found to be slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which could have been a result of the pilots' attempt to compensate for the crosswind.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 41°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 359°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly misaligned touchdown and rollout.
The total landing distance of 6,969 feet was 83% of the available runway length, which is a relatively long distance. The runway rollout alignment was also found to be slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
