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.

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 2,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (HAAB) on runway 25L, an Airbus A320 aircraft. The takeoff distance was 1,635 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile west of HAAB, rising from 8,424 feet above sea level to 26,960 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,536 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise that started 18 miles east of Sendafa, lasting 7 minutes and covering 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent 18 miles north of Awash, descending from 27,001 feet above sea level to 9,737 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,263 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise that started 9 miles southwest of Deder, lasting 5 minutes and covering 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent again, this time from 10,009 feet above sea level to 8,324 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,685 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The descent started 19 miles southwest of Harar. The aircraft then entered another level cruise that started 12 miles west of Harar, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final descent started 10 miles south of Dire Dawa, descending from 8,302 feet above sea level to 5,461 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,841 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at Aba Tenna Dejazmach Yilma International Airport (HADR), heading 330 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,735 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 387 meters, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -955 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 269 degrees.
The total landing distance was 980 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 211 nautical miles, taking 46 minutes, and the aircraft used 39 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at HADR Aba Tenna Dejazmach Yilma International Airport, with a score of 87.2%. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, heading 330.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,735 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 139 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 387 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -955 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The total landing distance of 980 meters was 36% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a halt. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to maintain control during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Airbus A320 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in terms of touchdown distance and runway rollout alignment. However, the heavy touchdown rate and slightly misaligned touchdown position suggest areas for improvement in terms of pilot technique and aircraft performance.
