See Arrival Final 4
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 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 563 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took off from London Heathrow Airport on runway 27L using an Airbus A320 aircraft. The takeoff roll began smoothly, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 165 kt, taking a distance of 1,886 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered mostly calm conditions with a light wind speed of 4 kt from the northwest direction. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Horton, ascending from 1,125 feet to 23,651 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nm. The climb was steady, achieving an ascent of 22,526 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for 2 minutes. This phase began overhead Eastleigh, Hampshire, and covered a short distance of 10 nm.
As the enroute segment approached its final stages, the aircraft began its descent to prepare for landing. The first descent started 3 miles northeast of Lymington and involved a decrease in altitude from 23,484 to 16,301 feet in 7 minutes, covering 40 nm.
However, before reaching its final destination, the aircraft made a brief level cruise at an altitude of approximately 15,942 feet, lasting for 20 minutes but covering less than 1 nm.
The final descent from 15,942 feet to 1,937 feet took place 25 miles south of Worth Matravers. This descent took 13 minutes and covered a significant distance of 58 nm.
Upon approaching Jersey Airport, the aircraft entered the final approach phase for runway 26, coming from the east and heading in a direction of 265.0°. The aircraft maintained a low altitude, approaching the runway at 4 nm and 1,655 feet above ground level.
Under cloudy conditions with a light wind, the aircraft made a smooth landing on runway 26, which was 1,550 meters long. Although the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 kt, the touchdown point was located at 153 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed at 129 kt was a bit faster than desired. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate remained smooth at -125 fpm, and the runway alignment was good.
The total landing distance of 1,039 meters was 67% of the runway's length, indicating a relatively short landing rollout. With perfect runway alignment, the aircraft rolled out quickly, allowing it to reach the parking area in just 1 minute.
In conclusion, the flight successfully executed its landing at Jersey Airport, utilizing a short total landing distance and achieving a smooth touchdown.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EGJJ Jersey Airport, achieving a score of 98.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,655 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 26, which has a length of 1,550 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 153 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a slightly faster than ideal touchdown. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, at -125 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable rate for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 19°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which had a negligible effect on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,039 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
