Be on speed by the gate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,879 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,879 ft of the 12,324 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,728 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Almaty International Airport (UAAA) in Kazakhstan, the Airbus A320 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 05R. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 173 kt, clearing the runway threshold at 8,634 ft, which represented 60% of the runway's length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 67 °F and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed out of Almaty, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,771 ft in 21 minutes. This phase of the flight covered a distance of 135 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a steady ascent from 3,178 ft above sea level. Following a brief cruise at this altitude, the aircraft began its descent into Sharjah International Airport (OMSJ) in the United Arab Emirates. The descent phase was initiated 14 miles southeast of Qeshm Dayrestan International Airport (OIKQ) and lasted 14 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nm. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period, before commencing its final approach to runway 30 at OMSJ.
The Airbus A320 touched down on runway 30 at OMSJ, with a touchdown speed of 134 kt and a touchdown rate of -192 fpm. The aircraft's touchdown point was 1,360 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 6,611 ft, representing 58% of the runway's length. Following a smooth taxi to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, having covered a total distance of 1,673 nm and consuming 22,039 lbs of fuel in the process. The flight duration was 254 minutes.
The final approach to runway 30 at OMSJ Sharjah International Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 303.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,178 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 148 knots.
As the aircraft touched down 1,360 feet beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute was good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 0 knots, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 6,611 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability throughout the landing phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 94.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and skill.
