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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,266 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 363 m 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 21 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 32 at SBFL Hercílio Luz International Airport in Florianópolis, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,706 meters, which was 95% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 120°. This resulted in a tailwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,018 feet above sea level to 7,991 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of SSKT Aeroclube de Santa Catarina Airport in São José, Brazil, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 3 miles west of Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, rising from 8,283 feet above sea level to 30,658 feet above sea level in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 15 miles northeast of SSWT Cambará Airport in Cambará Do Sul, Brazil, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 16 miles south of SSWT Cambará Airport, descending from 30,750 feet above sea level to 1,288 feet above sea level in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at SBPA Salgado Filho International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 11, which had a length of 2,266 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 366 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -457 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 70°, resulting in a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,174 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 217 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 3,249 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Salgado Filho International Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 11, which has a length of 2,266 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it crossed the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 knots, which may indicate a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach speed. The touchdown distance of 366 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was a little fast, which may indicate that the aircraft's approach speed was not perfectly controlled. The touchdown rate of -457 feet per minute (fpm) was also reported as hard, which may indicate that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more stable.
The total landing distance of 1,174 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.6%. However, there were some minor deviations in the aircraft's approach speed and touchdown rate, which may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique.
