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 4° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 4° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,187 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,187 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 456 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 KLBO Floyd W. Jones Lebanon Airport. This process took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 18, with the aircraft taking off after covering 56% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 862 meters, and the liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb began overhead KLBO Floyd W. Jones Lebanon Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,339 feet above sea level to 40,578 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 118 nautical miles, took 18 minutes and resulted in an increase of 38,239 feet in altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northeast of MU88 Yarbro Field Poplar Bluff. This phase lasted for 54 minutes and covered a distance of 439 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of 4GE3 Whitehall Airport Montrose. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 123 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 40,551 feet above sea level to 1,281 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 04 at KSSI St Simons Island Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 37.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 04, which had a length of 1,187 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 455 meters, but the touchdown speed of 120 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 29°C temperature. The total landing distance was 1,086 meters, which accounted for 91% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 686 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 3,471 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KSSI St Simons Island Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 04, which has a length of 1,187 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots. The touchdown distance of 455 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the pilot maintained excellent control of the aircraft, resulting in a very good runway touchdown alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29°C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,086 meters was 91% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 91.4% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
