Slow down earlier
See Arrival Final 2
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,620 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,620 m of the 3,100 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 640 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at GMMX Menara Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 1,784 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 100°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,575 feet above sea level to 31,193 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,618 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile south of Marrakesh, Morocco, and continued through various points, including 18 miles west of Settat, Morocco, and 12 miles southwest of Zawyat an Nwacer, Morocco.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 91 minutes, covering a distance of 705 nautical miles. This phase started 6 miles north of Casablanca, Morocco, and continued until the aircraft began its descent overhead Trensacq, France. The descent from 32,612 feet above sea level to 10,182 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,430 feet in 16 minutes, covered a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, with several level cruise phases lasting for a few minutes to several hours, covering distances of less than 1 nautical mile to 705 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 1 mile southwest of Saint-Louis-de-Montferrand, France, and ended with the aircraft touching down on runway 23 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 18 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,537 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 906 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 160 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 6,264 kilograms.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 23, which has a length of 3,100 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, at a point 222 meters from the threshold. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 13 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,537 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a short landing roll. However, the slight misalignment from the centerline and the touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone are areas for improvement.
