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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 410 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 24 at AGGH Honiara International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,099 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 319 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Honiara, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,048 feet above sea level to 34,814 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 180 nautical miles, took 27 minutes and resulted in an increase of 33,765 feet in altitude. The enroute level cruise then started 47 miles south of AGGT Santa Ana Airport, and it lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 425 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 17 miles southwest of NVSX Southwest Bay Airport, and it took 16 minutes to descend from an altitude of 34,049 feet above sea level to 469 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at NVVV Bauerfield International Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 118.0 degrees at an altitude of 385 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 11 at NVVV Bauerfield International Airport was successful, with the touchdown distance being 411 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 100 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 693 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 5,257 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at NVVV Bauerfield International Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 118.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 385 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 134 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 411 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height at 61 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which further contributed to a stable and controlled landing.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a firm touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute (fpm) and perfect runway touchdown alignment. The runway rollout alignment was also flawless, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a high score of 94.7%. The aircraft's performance in various aspects, including speed, distance, and alignment, was satisfactory, and the local weather conditions were conducive to a smooth landing.
