Hold the approach angle
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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,477 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,477 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 283 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 01 at Akureyri Airport, BIAR. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 952 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Akureyri, Nordurland Eystra, Iceland. The climb from 1,027 feet above sea level to 21,963 feet above sea level was a significant increase of 20,936 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 26 nautical miles, starting 23 miles east of Sandá Airport, BISA.
The enroute descent started 2 miles west of Hveravellir Airport, BIHI, and the aircraft descended from 21,997 feet above sea level to 10,091 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,906 feet in 5 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles, starting 12 miles southeast of Húsafell Airport, BIHZ.
The enroute descent started 15 miles south of BIHZ, and the aircraft descended from 10,009 feet above sea level to 3,323 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,686 feet in 5 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles, starting 5 miles northeast of Sandskeið Airport, BISS.
The final enroute descent started 8 miles southeast of Hafnarfjoerdur, and the aircraft descended from 2,914 feet above sea level to 1,560 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,354 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Reykjavik Airport, BIRK, was from the south, heading 356.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,518 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 282 meters, which is good. However, the touchdown speed of 151 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -860 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 879 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 154 nautical miles, and the flight took 35 minutes, using 0 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The Airbus A320 aircraft has successfully landed at BIRK Reykjavik Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,518 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,477 meters.
However, there were some issues with the landing. The threshold height at 65 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when it reached the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 154 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling too fast when it reached the runway. This could have contributed to the subsequent issues with the landing.
The touchdown distance was good at 282 meters, but the touchdown speed of 151 knots was faster than desired. This resulted in a very heavy touchdown rate of -860 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the ideal rate. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft did not land directly on the center of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and no headwind. The total landing distance was 879 meters, which is 59% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft did not maintain a straight path after touchdown. Overall, while the aircraft landed safely, there were several areas for improvement in terms of speed, touchdown rate, and alignment.
