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 centreline.

The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KCKB North Central West Virginia Airport. This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 21, with the aircraft taking off after covering 41% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 884 meters, and the liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 23 knots blowing from a direction of 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 22 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the KCKB North Central West Virginia Airport Bridgeport. The climb took place from an altitude of 2,236 feet above sea level to 13,594 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,357 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of White Hall, West Virginia. This phase of the flight lasted for 25 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead South Heights, Pennsylvania. The descent took place from an altitude of 13,444 feet above sea level to 5,819 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,625 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile east of New Bedford, Pennsylvania. This phase of the flight lasted for just 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Hermitage, Pennsylvania. The descent took place from an altitude of 5,753 feet above sea level to 2,114 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,640 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at KYNG Youngstown Warren Regional Airport took place from the north-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 223.0° at an altitude of 981 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 23, which had a length of 1,524 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 382 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 120 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -265 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots blowing from a direction of 199°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,022 meters, which was 67% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.4 meters. The aircraft then began its taxiing process, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile to reach the parking area.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 132 nautical miles, taking 45 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,966 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at KYNG Youngstown Warren Regional Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 981 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -265 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 382 meters was within acceptable limits.
The landing was conducted in a challenging local weather environment, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from 199°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and touchdown.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. These deviations may have been due to the challenging wind conditions and the aircraft's response to them.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within 67% of the runway length, which is 1,022 meters. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were able to overcome the challenging weather conditions, resulting in a high-scoring landing.
