Track the centreline
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 2.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,373 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 402 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport (SKSP) commenced with a smooth departure roll on runway 24. The aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 149 kt, clearing the ground at a distance of 958 meters, which accounted for 40% of the available runway length. Favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a straightforward takeoff.
Following a brief enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, the aircraft transitioned into the final approach phase. The approach was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 225.0°, and was characterized by a stable descent at an altitude of 301 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at a speed of 110 kt, with a touchdown distance of 404 meters, which was within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute was also satisfactory, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The landing phase was completed with a total landing distance of 940 meters, which again accounted for 40% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The total flight distance of 9 nautical miles was covered in 4 minutes, and the aircraft consumed a total of -6,545 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by stable and controlled flight phases, with good adherence to standard operating procedures.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, commenced its final approach to runway 24 at SKSP Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport from the north east, heading 225.0° at 1 nm and 301 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 119 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down, it demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 404 m, with a touchdown speed of 110 kt and a touchdown rate of -166 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 224°, resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind of 3 kt, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 940 m, accounting for 40% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment throughout. The overall landing performance was exceptional, with a score of 99.5% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a safe and efficient landing, showcasing the crew's expertise and adherence to standard operating procedures.
