Hold the approach angle
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.

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 2,375 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 410 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by FWB EasyJet, a commercial airliner. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll from runway 14L at SKBO El Dorado International Airport in Bogota, Colombia, marked the start of the flight.
The takeoff distance covered 56% of the runway, which was 2,127 meters long. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 136 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 300°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 9,408 feet above sea level to 39,574 feet, an increase of 30,167 feet in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase started approximately 1 mile south east of SKBO El Dorado International Airport.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 66 minutes and covered a distance of 485 nautical miles. This phase began 7 miles north of Marulanda, Colombia. The aircraft then began its descent from 39,403 feet above sea level to 3,517 feet, a decrease of 35,885 feet in just 14 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase began 11 miles south west of San Andres, Colombia. The aircraft then began its final descent from 3,087 feet above sea level to 1,816 feet, a decrease of 1,271 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at SKSP Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport was made from the south west, heading 61.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,782 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 06, which was 2,375 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 118 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 406 meters, and the touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -181 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 39°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,064 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then began its taxiing process from the runway to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 670 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes. The aircraft used 3,527 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FWB EasyJet, successfully landed at Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport (SKSP) with a score of 98.2%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the southwest, heading 61.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,782 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 117 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 118 knots. The touchdown distance of 406 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute (fpm) was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a stable and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The runway length of 2,375 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 1,064 meters, or 45% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled trajectory during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
