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 and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,601 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 490 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at EGGW London Luton Airport. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 154 kt. The takeoff distance was 902 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 °C and a wind speed of 30 kt from 239°, resulting in a headwind of 29 kt and a crosswind of 8 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGGW London Luton Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,402 ft to 32,395 ft in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nm. This rapid ascent was achieved in a short period of time, demonstrating the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 153 minutes and covered a distance of 703 nm. This cruise phase took the aircraft south east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex, England, before continuing on to its destination.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started overhead Xativa, in the Comunitat Valenciana region of Spain. The descent was relatively short, with the aircraft descending from 34,193 ft to 30,845 ft in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nm. This was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted for 56 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 3 miles north east of Ibi, in the Comunitat Valenciana region of Spain. This descent was more significant, with the aircraft descending from 30,845 ft to 2,411 ft in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 at RMU Region de Murcia Intl Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 46.0° at 3 nm and 1,761 ft above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 114 kt. The touchdown point was 67 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was fair at -250 fpm.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 °C and a wind speed of 12 kt from 110°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 kt and a headwind of 5 kt. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.3 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,104 m, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The aircraft used a total of 5,332 kg of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 859 nm and took a total of 152 minutes.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at RMU Region de Murcia Intl Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south west, heading 46.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,761 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, as indicated by the threshold height and speed, which were both within acceptable limits at 130 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively. The touchdown rate of -250 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and wind at 12 knots from 110°, contributed to a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,104 meters was 69% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown position and rollout alignment.
