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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,547 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 261 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MUSC Abel Santamaria Airport. This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 45% of the runway's length, reaching a liftoff speed of 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 °C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 130 °.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile east of MUSC Abel Santamaria Airport, Santa Clara. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,344 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 23,964 feet, an increase of 22,620 feet in just 9 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 48 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 21 miles north of Rancho Veloz, lasting for 20 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 12 miles southwest of Coba Island, Florida, and lasted for 14 minutes. During this time, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 23,864 feet to 1,819 feet, a decrease of 22,045 feet. The descent covered a distance of 61 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading at 87.0 ° at an altitude of 1,790 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 131 knots. Although the touchdown speed was a little fast, the touchdown distance was good at 259 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 °C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 120 °.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 230 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 1,974 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) with a score of 95.5%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,790 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 139 knots. This excessive speed may have contributed to a slightly fast touchdown speed of 131 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 259 meters was deemed good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow the aircraft down effectively. The touchdown rate of -614 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or hard landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,267 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and heavy touchdown rate may indicate areas for improvement in the pilots' landing technique.
