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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,902 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 228 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Just Flight RJ85 CityJet, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Tucumcari Municipal Airport (KTCC). This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 03, with a takeoff distance of 1,340 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 132 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. After departing from KTCC, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and rising from an altitude of 5,040 feet above sea level to 30,991 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 157 nautical miles and took 25 minutes, with an increase of 25,951 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Perryton Ochiltree County Airport (KPYX) in Texas. This phase lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 217 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles east of Marion Airport (KNAB) in Kansas. The descent took 21 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 27,273 feet in altitude, from 29,944 feet above sea level to 2,671 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached Kansas City International Airport (KMCI), it began its final approach to runway 01R from the south, heading at 13.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at KMCI were 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 359 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The aircraft landed on runway 01R, which had a length of 2,902 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 109 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 226 meters, and the touchdown speed was 104 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -334 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 791 meters, accounting for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 493 nautical miles, and the flight took 85 minutes. The aircraft used 2,924 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CityJet RJ85 aircraft has successfully landed at Kansas City International Airport, achieving a score of 98.1%. The final approach to runway 01R was conducted from the south, with a heading of 13.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,646 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 109 knots. This indicates a controlled descent and a smooth touchdown. The touchdown distance of 226 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 104 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -334 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 359°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 791 meters was 27% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a stable and aligned exit from the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
