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: 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 2,295 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 598 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ700ER, then departed from runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport. The takeoff distance was 914 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 11 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 6,383 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,371 feet from the initial altitude of 1,012 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent 9 miles south of TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport. The descent from 6,383 feet to 4,134 feet took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 19 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 7 miles north of The Bottom, Saba, Caribbean Netherlands.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 12 miles west of TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport. The descent from 4,031 feet to 1,358 feet took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then lined up for a final approach to runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, heading 80 degrees at an altitude of 1,335 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 171 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at a direction of 60 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,176 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 51 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes. The aircraft used 930 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ700ER aircraft successfully landed at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 80.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,335 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 2,295 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. The touchdown point was 171 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 108 knots was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 6.0 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component, which was 4 knots, and the headwind of 10 knots. The local weather conditions were warm, with a temperature of 29°C, and a moderate wind speed of 10 knots at 60°.
The total landing distance was 1,176 meters, which accounts for 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a good approach and landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score. However, there is room for improvement in terms of centerline alignment during touchdown.
