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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,637 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,115 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Simón Bolívar International Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 10, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 62 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Maiquetia, Venezuela. The climb took 21 minutes to reach an altitude of 34,029 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,905 feet from the initial altitude of 1,123 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 119 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 24 miles southwest of TNCB Flamingo International Airport in Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands. This phase lasted for 127 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 926 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 60 miles southwest of MYAB Clarence A. Bain Airport in Mangrove Cay, Bahamas. The descent took 32 minutes to reach an altitude of 4,700 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,872 feet from the initial altitude of 33,572 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles west of Kendall West in Florida, United States. This phase lasted for 4 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final descent, starting 8 miles west of Kendall West in Florida. The descent took 4 minutes to reach an altitude of 1,797 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,081 feet from the initial altitude of 3,879 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading at 87.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,766 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 09 at Miami International Airport, with a runway length of 11,637 feet. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 133 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 1,116 feet, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -477 feet per minute, which was considered hard.
The total landing distance was 3,506 feet, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 7 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,214 nautical miles, taking 220 minutes and consuming 19,422 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,766 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 128 knots, which was within the target range.
The touchdown distance of 1,116 feet was also within the acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not seem to have affected the overall performance of the landing. The threshold speed of 133 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled approach.
The landing was further enhanced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment, which ensured that the aircraft landed directly on the centerline of the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 180°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward.
The total landing distance of 3,506 feet was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the length of the runway (11,637 feet). This suggests that the pilot had maintained a high level of control and precision during the landing phase. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing of the Airbus A320 at KMIA was a textbook example of a well-executed landing, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
