Keep the wings level on final
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,164 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,164 ft of the 11,542 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,560 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 17 at YSCB Canberra International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,914 feet, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 22 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 21 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Crestwood in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,887 feet above sea level to 36,146 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,259 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 73 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 3 miles east of Bigga. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 75 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 5 miles southeast of Hargraves. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,644 feet above sea level to 37,676 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,031 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of Mudgee. This phase lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 282 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles southwest of YCAS Casino Airport Casino. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,031 feet above sea level to 1,294 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,737 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01R at YBBN Brisbane International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 27.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01R, which had a length of 11,542 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 204 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots at 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,908 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 541 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used 7,941 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at YBBN Brisbane International Airport on runway 01R, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 27.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed smoothly on the runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 kt, coming in at 134 kt. However, the touchdown point was 204 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 129 kt was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a gentle wind of 7 kt at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The runway length of 11,542 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 4,908 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
