Keep the wings level on final
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,285 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 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 Melbourne International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 1,387 meters, which was 61% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 147 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 189 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Bulla, in the state of Victoria, Australia, and continued for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 156 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,450 feet above sea level to 39,073 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,624 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 14 miles south of Lakes Entrance, in the state of Victoria, Australia. This phase lasted for 137 minutes, covering a distance of 1,178 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 82 miles west of Limestone Downs Airport in Auckland, New Zealand. The descent from 39,066 feet above sea level to 25,300 feet above sea level took 7 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 39 miles west of Limestone Downs Airport and lasted for 11 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 39 miles west of Limestone Downs Airport. The descent from 25,300 feet above sea level to 1,291 feet above sea level took 14 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 253.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 23L, which had a length of 3,285 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 459 meters, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -152 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,322 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,440 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 192 minutes. The aircraft used 6,400 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) with an impressive score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 253.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was a pleasant 22°C, with a moderate wind blowing at 13 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft's speed and altitude were well within the acceptable limits, with a threshold speed of 135 knots and a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 126 knots, which is within the recommended range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 459 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute (fpm) was well within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,322 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop at the end of the runway. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a score of 99.9%.
