Track the centreline 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.

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 9,521 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 the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA), with a takeoff distance of 4,512 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,025 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 33,449 feet, an increase of 32,423 feet in just 18 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 100 nautical miles and took place approximately 1 mile southwest of Brownsville, Florida. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 74 minutes and covered a distance of 565 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 4 miles southeast of Lake Placid, Florida.
The flight then entered a series of enroute climbs and descents, with the aircraft climbing from 29,357 feet to 34,118 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. This climb phase took place approximately 8 miles southwest of Hohenwald, Tennessee. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 355 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 3 miles west of Camden, Tennessee.
As the flight continued, the aircraft entered a series of descents, with the most significant descent taking place from 33,851 feet to 7,084 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. This descent began approximately 1 mile east of Holt, Missouri. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, with the final cruise phase lasting just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01R at Kansas City International Airport (KMCI) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 32.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,219 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 631 feet and a touchdown speed of 124 knots. The touchdown rate was slightly hard at -481 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 54 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,986 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centerline.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,190 nautical miles and took 216 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 23,863 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 01R at Kansas City International Airport (KMCI) with a score of 76.6%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,219 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 128 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 631 feet, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also good at 124 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -481 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing phase.
One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 41 feet. This may have been caused by a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 54°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 3 knots each, which suggests that the aircraft was not significantly affected by wind shear during the landing.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown rate. The aircraft's performance was good, and the pilot's skills were adequate to handle the landing safely. However, there is room for improvement in terms of precision and control during the landing phase.
