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: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 m 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 area to the runway at London Luton Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 145 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 180 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Luton and continued for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,413 feet above sea level to 12,156 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,743 feet. The enroute level cruise then began overhead North Weald Airfield, lasting for 2 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south east of Ingrave, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 12,153 feet above sea level to 1,486 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,667 feet. This descent took 12 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 258.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 26L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 118 knots and a touchdown distance of 354 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 175 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 30 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 70 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -6,286 kilograms of fuel. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 124 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 354 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
However, there was a slight issue with the touchdown rate, which was recorded at -224 feet per minute (fpm). While this is not ideal, it is still considered fair, and the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft despite this minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation or wind factor.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 175°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not seem to have a significant impact on the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the process.
The total landing distance of 1,312 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was very good, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control throughout the process.
