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 five 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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 144 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E190 aircraft took off from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, covering 1,499 meters of the 3,200-meter runway. The takeoff distance accounted for 47% of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed over Aalsmeerderbrug, a location in the province of Noord-Holland, the Netherlands. The enroute climb started at an altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 19,973 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,953 feet in just 6 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 48 nautical miles during this climb phase.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles. This phase started 18 miles northwest of Nieuw-Haamstede, a location in the province of Zeeland, the Netherlands.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from an altitude of 19,990 feet above sea level and descended to 2,978 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,013 feet in 12 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 96 nautical miles during this descent phase. The enroute level cruise phase started again, this time overhead Chadwell St Mary, a location in the Borough of Thurrock, England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another descent phase, which started overhead Aveley, also located in the Borough of Thurrock, England. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 2,921 feet above sea level to 1,839 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,082 feet in just 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles during this descent phase.
The final approach to runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 273.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,806 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport, which has a length of 1,334 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 131 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 142 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -620 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute. The total flight distance was 185 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 32 minutes. The aircraft used 1,612 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at London City Airport (EGLC) on runway 27, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,806 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 131 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or the pilots' decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise touchdown speed.
The touchdown distance of 142 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -620 feet per minute (fpm). A heavier touchdown rate can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may require more aggressive braking to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 753 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely. Overall, the Embraer E190's landing at London City Airport was a successful one, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
