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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,939 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 636 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 15 at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport, located in Samara, Russia. The takeoff distance was 4,249 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 197 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 189 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of the airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,013 feet above sea level to 51,137 feet above sea level, an increase of 50,124 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 275 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 32 miles east of Bykovo, Russia, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering a distance of 627 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 55,146 feet above sea level to 57,541 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,395 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The climb started 4 miles southwest of Demirozu, Turkey.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 12 miles southwest of Doganyol, Turkey, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles south of Karaca, Turkey, and descending from 57,888 feet above sea level to 1,317 feet above sea level, a decrease of 56,571 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 335 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at LLBG Ben Gurion International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 94.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,163 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 9,939 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 168 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 644 feet, and the touchdown speed was 165 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -211 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 116 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 4,466 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,448 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes. The aircraft used 75,485 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Concorde has successfully landed at Ben Gurion International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 94.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,163 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 12, which has a length of 9,939 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 168 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's high-speed capabilities. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 644 feet, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The touchdown speed of 165 knots was reported as fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's high-speed landing capabilities. The touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 116°. The crosswind component was zero, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly below-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance was 4,466 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Concorde's landing at Ben Gurion International Airport was a success, with a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft's high-speed capabilities and precise control allowed it to execute a smooth and efficient landing, despite the slightly below-target threshold speed.
