Be on speed by the gate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 43 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,864 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tulsa International Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 18L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 136 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,593 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period, taking advantage of the favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 33°C and a 5-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Tulsa, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 29,998 feet above sea level in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 185 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 28,334 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 14 minutes and covering 108 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by an enroute descent, which began 4 miles east of Thornton, Texas, and lasted 22 minutes, with a total descent of 28,578 feet and a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The RJ85 aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 26L at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 269.0°. The approach was characterized by a smooth touchdown, with a touchdown speed of 109 knots and a touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute. The total landing distance of 986 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway, was achieved with precision, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance of 433 nautical miles was achieved in 85 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,751 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 26L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -137 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold height was good, allowing the pilot to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface. The threshold speed of 120 kt was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 109 kt, which was well within the recommended limits. The touchdown distance of 417 m was also good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 986 m, which accounted for only 34% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was executed to a high standard, with a score of 99.9% reflecting the exceptional quality of the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
