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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,614 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 238 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A flight operated by an RJ100 aircraft initiated its preparations for takeoff from Houari Boumediene Airport, located in DAAG, Algeria. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 27 for a duration of 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile (nm). Departure roll commenced from this runway, with the aircraft lifting off at a density altitude (DA) and a liftoff speed of 146 knots (kt). Weather conditions at the time featured a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a moderate wind speed of 1 kt at a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in negligible crosswind, but a slight headwind of 1 kt.
Following a successful departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, commencing at an altitude of 1,063 feet above sea level (asl) near Bab Ezzouar. The aircraft ascended to a maximum altitude of 28,008 ft asl in an increase of 26,945 ft in 18 minutes, covering an impressive distance of 88 nm.
After the ascent phase, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute level cruise. This phase lasted 115 minutes and covered a considerable 804 nm distance, beginning when the aircraft was south-east of La Savina, a location in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain.
Subsequently, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting at an altitude of 28,001 ft asl over Micheldever in Hampshire, England. The descent continued down to 7,039 ft asl in just 18 minutes, covering 81 nm. The aircraft then cruised at level altitude for an extremely short duration of just 2 minutes, flying at an altitude of 7,005 ft asl overhead Belbroughton in Worcestershire, England, and covering a mere 6 nm.
The following descent phase from 7,005 ft asl to 1,199 ft asl was initiated from just 1 mile north of Hopwood, also in Worcestershire, England. In just 6 minutes, the aircraft covered a distance of 15 nm while descending by a total of 5,807 ft.
The flight concluded with a final approach to runway 05 at Coventry Airport, which was flown from the south west. A heading of 49.0 ° was maintained at a distance of 3 nm and an altitude of 913 ft agl. Local weather conditions, featuring a temperature of 15° C and a head wind of approximately 2 kt, resulted in a gentle airspeed of 114 kt for the aircraft on touchdown. The total landing distance was a remarkably low 236 meters, equating to just 46 % of the runway length. However, a touchdown rate of -216 fpm and landing on a perfect runway touchdown alignment resulted in a somewhat fair touchdown rate overall.
Upon completion of the landing, taxiing to the parking area took 4 minutes, and covered less than 1 nm. The flight's overall total distance was 1,000 nm and lasted 168 minutes. The aircraft expended 6,418 kg of fuel, illustrating an efficient flight plan overall.
The recent landing of the RJ100 aircraft at EGBE Coventry Airport was a successful one, with the pilot achieving an impressive 99.8% score. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south-west, following a heading of 49.0° at a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 913 feet above ground level (agl).
A key aspect of this landing was the pilot's ability to successfully touch down on the runway at the correct speed, achieving a threshold speed of 114 knots. This, combined with the good threshold height and alignment, set the stage for a smooth touchdown. The RJ100 landed on the runway at a speed of 109 knots, which is slightly below the threshold speed but still considered acceptable. While the touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm) was only described as fair, it is worth noting that this can vary depending on the specific landing conditions and the weight of the aircraft.
The pilot made use of a slight tailwind, amounting to just 1 knot, which may have helped to reduce the required touchdown distance. The total landing distance was recorded as 740 meters, which equates to just 46% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to decelerate smoothly and efficiently after touchdown, bringing the aircraft to a stop within a relatively short distance.
