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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 156 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 28R at Dublin Airport (EIDW), with a takeoff distance of 1,286 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 131 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles north of Blanchardstown, Ireland, at an altitude of 1,281 feet above sea level. Over the course of 20 minutes, the aircraft climbed to 19,644 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,362 feet, and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 180°.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of Cemaes Bay, Wales, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile west of Bunbury, England, and descended from 19,915 feet above sea level to 19,019 feet above sea level, a decrease of 896 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started another enroute climb 2 miles south of Over, England, and climbed from 19,034 feet above sea level to 19,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 961 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Alsager, England, and lasted for 37 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent started 3 miles southeast of Dovercourt, England, and the aircraft descended from 19,865 feet above sea level to 1,808 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,057 feet, in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at London City Airport (EGLC), heading 273.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,784 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at EGLC was successful, with a touchdown distance of 156 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 108 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -563 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 190°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 359 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 1,029 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,784 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 112 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 108 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -563 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, indicating a significant deceleration upon touchdown. This may be a concern for the aircraft's landing gear and overall structural integrity. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 564 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but the hard touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed may require further attention to ensure the aircraft's safety and performance.
