Hold the approach speed
See Arrival Final 3
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,936 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,936 m of the 3,485 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 549 m past the threshold — beyond 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 32 at CYHZ Halifax / Stanfield International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,323 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -1 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 340 °.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of CYHZ. The climb took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,332 feet above sea level to 29,712 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,381 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 115 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during the climb were a temperature of -1 °C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 340 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 19 miles southwest of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. This phase of the flight lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead ME88 Morrison's Airport in Perry, Maine, United States. The descent took 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 29,727 feet above sea level to 4,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,422 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles south of Lagrange, Maine, United States. This phase of the flight lasted 6 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at KBGR Bangor International Airport, approaching from the northwest at a heading of 134.0 °. The aircraft was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,720 feet above ground level when it started its final approach.
The aircraft landed on runway 15 at KBGR Bangor International Airport, which had a length of 3,485 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 135 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -6 °C.
The total landing distance was 1,857 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 246 nautical miles, and the flight took 72 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,172 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KBGR Bangor International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 134.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,720 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 knots, which is within the recommended range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 135 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than recommended, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions were cold, with a temperature of -6°C, but this did not seem to affect the pilot's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,857 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and attention to detail. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and flare technique to achieve a more ideal touchdown point.
