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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 167 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a CRJ900, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ENZV Stavanger Airport, Sola. This process took approximately 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). The departure roll took place on runway 18, and the takeoff distance was 1,230 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft successfully lifted off the ground at a speed of 159 knots (kt) and encountered wind conditions, with a crosswind of 19 kt, and a headwind of 16 kt.
Following a successful takeoff, the enroute climb started overhead ENZV Stavanger Airport, Sola. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 328 meters above sea level (asl) to a maximum of 10,115 meters asl. This climb, which covered a distance of 138 nm, took approximately 22 minutes and resulted in an altitude increase of 9,786.8 meters.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, the enroute level cruise commenced, lasting 11 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nm. However, the flight then transitioned to an enroute descent from a height of 10,155 meters asl to 295 meters asl, covering a distance of 85 nm. This descent took approximately 17 minutes and decreased the aircraft's altitude by 9,860.2 meters.
As the aircraft neared its destination, it began its final approach to runway 09 at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes. The approach was made from the west, heading 90°, and at an altitude of 4 nm (7.4 kilometers) above ground level (agl). The aircraft encountered relatively light wind conditions at the time of landing, with a wind speed of 11 kt and a direction of 130°.
The landing on runway 09 at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes, was a successful one, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 129 kt and a distance of 170 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.5 meters per second, and the landing distance was 1,100 meters, accounting for 47% of the runway. The aircraft also maintained good threshold speed and touched down within the threshold zone. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned from the centreline by 8.8 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the 3-minute journey over a distance of less than 1 nm. In total, the flight covered a distance of 319 nm and lasted approximately 63 minutes, using 1,965 kilograms of fuel during the entire journey.
The CRJ900 aircraft demonstrated a decent landing performance at Trondheim Airport, Værnes, with a final approach score of 93.8%. The pilot maintained a heading of 90.0 degrees from the west, approximately 4 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 281.2 meters above ground level (agl), which is a good altitude for final approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft showed a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 132 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 170 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 129 knots was also reasonable. However, the touchdown rate of -1.5 meters per second was somewhat less than ideal, as it could be considered a relatively steeper descent.
The landing performance was further affected by the weather conditions. A temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 11 knots in a direction of 130 degrees resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. These crosswind and headwind conditions likely contributed to the misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 8.8 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,100 meters was approximately 47% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft and the weather conditions. However, during the rollout alignment after touchdown, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline, which might be a concern for the pilots to rectify on the next landing attempt.
Overall, the CRJ900 pilot demonstrated a good level of proficiency during the landing, with some minor deviations that can be addressed to improve performance on future flights.
