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.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,674 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,674 m of the 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Salt Lake City International Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 16L, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots blowing from a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Salt Lake City. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 4,935 feet above sea level to 34,966 feet. The enroute level cruise phase began 9 miles south of Paris, Idaho, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 16 miles west of Bar Flying E Airport in Cody, Wyoming, and took 19 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,032 feet to 5,054 feet. The final approach to runway 28R at Billings Logan International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 292.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,457 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 28R was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 129 knots and a distance of 444 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots blowing from a direction of 79 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,592 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 385 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 2,547 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 28R at KBIL Billings Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 292.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,457 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot judgment. The touchdown distance of 444 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 129 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -268 fpm. This is considered fair, but could be improved upon in future landings. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -7°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 79°. The crosswind component was 3 kt, while the tailwind component was 5 kt. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 1,592 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 95.0%. However, there are areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and improving the runway rollout alignment.
