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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Bilbao Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 12, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, and a crosswind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Derio, Spain, and began its ascent from 1,101 feet above sea level to 34,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,907 feet in 19 minutes. The enroute climb covered a distance of 110 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Saugnacq, France, and lasting 14 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 339 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile south of Le Bosquel, France, and took the aircraft from 32,789 feet above sea level to 10,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,789 feet in just 3 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 54 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Rieulay, France, and lasting 5 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The enroute descent continued, starting overhead Opwijk, Belgium, and took the aircraft from 9,482 feet above sea level to 2,286 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,196 feet in 5 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile northwest of Herselt, Belgium, and lasting 8 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Brussels Airport, it began its final approach to runway 25R from the northeast, heading 246.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,692 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, and a crosswind of 0 knots.
The landing took place on runway 25R, which had a length of 3,075 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 123 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 351 meters, and the touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -459 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 598 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 4,490 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving a high score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,692 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was 15°C, and the wind was minimal, with a speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 123 kt. The touchdown distance of 351 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 113 kt was also good. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -459 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive descent.
Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The total landing distance of 906 meters was only 29% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the pilot's skill and control.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 97.0%.
