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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it rolled down runway 35L, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 139 knots, covering a takeoff distance of 1,344 meters, which represented 33% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it began its ascent from 1,745 feet above sea level, increasing its altitude to 30,047 feet in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 22 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 173 nautical miles. The descent phase that began over Holzgerlingen, Germany, saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 29,589 feet to 8,018 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it underwent several level cruise phases, each lasting a few minutes, before beginning its final descent towards Frankfurt Airport. The descent phase that began over Hanau am Main, Germany, saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 4,854 feet to 1,623 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25R, touching down at a speed of 109 knots and a distance of 462 meters from the threshold. The total landing distance was 957 meters, representing 34% of the runway's length. After a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, bringing an end to its 94-minute journey, which covered a total distance of 444 nautical miles and consumed 2,941 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an RJ85, successfully executed a final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport from the east, aligning with the runway heading of 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 462 meters, with a touchdown speed of 109 knots, which was also within the desired parameters. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -124 feet per minute, indicating a well-controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect centerline alignment, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, further reducing the risk of deviation from the centerline. The total landing distance of 957 meters, which accounted for just 34% of the runway length, was a clear indication of the aircraft's excellent braking performance.
As the aircraft rolled out on the runway, it maintained perfect alignment, a credit to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's responsive handling. The overall performance of the landing was outstanding, with a score of 99.1%. The combination of a smooth touchdown, precise centerline alignment, and controlled rollout made for a textbook landing, one that showcased the pilot's skill and the aircraft's capabilities.
