Hold the glidepath
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.9° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,922 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,922 ft of the 8,853 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,426 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KMCO Orlando International Airport took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then began its departure roll on runway 18L, utilizing 74% of the 8,916-foot runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 170 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 100°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The enroute climb phase commenced 1 mile south of KMCO, with the aircraft ascending from 1,082 feet above sea level to 34,009 feet, a vertical increase of 32,927 feet, over a distance of 190 nautical miles in 28 minutes. Following a brief level cruise phase, which lasted 16 minutes and covered 123 nautical miles, the aircraft began its descent 1 mile northwest of KAGS Augusta Regional Airport. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 33,998 feet to 6,011 feet, a vertical decrease of 27,988 feet, over a distance of 110 nautical miles in 19 minutes. The aircraft then entered a second level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before commencing its final descent phase.
The final approach to runway 36R at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 356.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,331 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the 8,853-foot runway, with the touchdown point located 1,110 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 149 knots was slightly above the target, but the touchdown rate of -73 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 6,706 feet, utilizing 76% of the runway. The taxiing time from the runway to the parking area was 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 450 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 83 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,692 pounds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 36R at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 356.0° at 4 nm and 1,331 ft above ground level. The crew maintained a steady state, aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline as they descended towards the threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 149 kt, which was slightly above the target speed, resulting in a moderate touchdown rate. However, the touchdown rate of -73 fpm was still considered excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The touchdown point was 1,110 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which was within acceptable limits. The threshold speed was well above the target at 156 kt, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 6,706 ft was 76% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 88°F and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the crew's performance earned a score of 96.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the landing.
