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 10,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,919 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KDEN Denver International Airport. This process took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the aircraft taking off after covering 8,074 feet, which was 67% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KDEN, it began its enroute climb 3 miles east of the airport. The climb took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 193 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 6,224 feet above sea level to 38,139 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Hoxie-Sheridan Co Hoxie Airport in Kansas. This cruise phase lasted for 87 minutes and covered a distance of 798 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Higdon Airfield Karns in Tennessee, with the aircraft descending from 39,001 feet to 5,700 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Pearson's Farm Airport in South Carolina. This short cruise phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at KGSP Greenville Spartanburg International Airport took place from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 212.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,754 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on the runway, which was 10,998 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 527 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with the touchdown speed being 132 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather at the time of landing was 56 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 4,666 feet, which was 42% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,134 nautical miles, and the flight took 165 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 12,814 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP) with a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 212.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,754 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 22, which has a length of 10,998 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 527 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, indicating a well-executed landing.
The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -148 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft was brought to a gentle stop on the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 56°F. The total landing distance of 4,666 feet was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance, indicating a good landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was brought to a stop in a controlled and stable manner.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop on the runway. The high score of 98.3% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance during the landing phase.
