Track the centreline
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: seven checks where the approach path is 91 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 91 m gate: centreline 6.6° off, against a 1° limit and wings 13° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,385 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 163 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.96 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 08R, taking off with a distance of 1,837 meters, which accounted for 53% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, with a local temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot. Following a smooth departure, the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, commencing 1 mile northwest of Tunari, Romania. Over the course of 15 minutes, the aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 270 meters above sea level to a cruising altitude of 10,340 meters, an increase of 10,069.4 meters, while covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles northeast of Bobicesti, Olt, Romania, and lasted for 31 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 256 nautical miles. The cruise altitude of 10,340 meters was maintained until the aircraft entered the enroute descent phase, which started 1 mile west of Vogosca, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The descent from 10,367 meters to 73 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,294.1 meters, was completed in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at Split Airport, Croatia, from the northeast, aligning itself with the runway at an altitude of 50.6 meters above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was executed with a threshold speed of 129 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly above the optimal value. The touchdown distance of 169 meters was within the acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 730 meters accounted for 31% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft came to a stop, having covered a total distance of 470 nautical miles and consuming 3,207 kilograms of fuel over the course of the flight, which lasted 76 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23 at LDSP Split Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 234.0° at 0 nm and 50.6 meters above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 169 meters was within the expected parameters, but the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly higher than desired.
The touchdown characteristics were firm, with a rate of -1.9 meters per second, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.9 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a 5-knot headwind, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 730 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the runway centreline. The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 96.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown characteristics, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
