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: gear still up, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,175 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A380 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Brussels South Charleroi Airport, which took approximately 28 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 06, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, using 78% of the runway's length.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed over the town of Heppignies in Wallonia, Belgium. The climb from 1,569 feet above sea level to 19,922 feet above sea level took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft continued its journey, climbing from 20,206 feet above sea level to 24,192 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. This climb took place over the town of Fexhe-le-Haut-Clocher in Wallonia, Belgium. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, passing over the town of Kall in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The descent from 24,121 feet above sea level to 21,726 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, passing over the town of EDYV Weilerswist ULM Weilerswist in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The descent from 21,444 feet above sea level to 20,514 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, passing over the town of Erftstadt in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The climb from 20,384 feet above sea level to 27,913 feet above sea level took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, passing over several towns in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, including Rath, Attendorn, Balve, Unna, Nordwalde, Birgte, and Lotte. The aircraft entered a series of level cruises and climbs, covering a total distance of 333 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport took place from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at 42.0° and flying at an altitude of 1,988 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 06, which had a length of 2,175 meters. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above target, but the threshold speed was good at 152 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 443 meters, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -492 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 160°.
The total landing distance was 1,229 meters, which was
The Airbus A380 successfully landed at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,988 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 06, which has a length of 2,175 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the approach. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 152 knots, demonstrating a good control of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 443 meters, and the touchdown speed of 144 knots was within the desired range.
Despite the satisfactory performance in terms of speed and distance, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard at -492 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centerline, which could pose a risk to the aircraft's stability during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 1,229 meters, which corresponds to 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent and touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure a smooth and stable landing roll.
Overall, the Airbus A380's landing at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport was satisfactory, with some minor deviations in terms of height, touchdown rate, and runway alignment. However, the aircraft's performance in terms of speed, distance, and control was generally good, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in landing operations.
