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 1,720 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,720 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 36 at La Palma Airport (GCLA). The takeoff distance was 1,237 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 25 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Brena Alta in the Canary Islands, Spain. It climbed from an initial altitude of 1,014 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 30,464 feet, an increase of 29,449 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles northeast of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and lasted 5 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 37 miles north of Galdar, descending from 29,978 feet to 2,288 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 10 miles east of Corralejo and lasted 4 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (GCRR) was made from the southwest, heading 28.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,762 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 03, which had a length of 2,395 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 356 meters, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was also good.
However, the touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 231 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 2,277 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 28.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,762 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 121 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown distance of 356 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown rate of -426 feet per minute (fpm) was classified as hard, suggesting that the pilot may have applied a bit too much braking or reverse thrust upon touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 19 kt from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 kt and a headwind of 15 kt, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,636 meters was 68% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient runway remaining to safely stop the aircraft.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 9.8 meters. While this was not a significant deviation, it may indicate that the pilot could have maintained a more precise control of the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
