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 3,653 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 102 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A380 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KIND Indianapolis International Airport, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 05L, with a takeoff distance of 982 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 59 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of KIND Indianapolis International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,744 feet above sea level to 37,397 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,652 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 140 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of 87OH Mundron Field Fayette in Ohio, United States. This phase lasted for 39 minutes and covered a distance of 400 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles southeast of CRL2 Westport / Rideau Lakes Airport in Westport, Ontario, Canada. The descent from 37,456 feet above sea level to 1,749 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,707 feet, took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles.
Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Pincourt in Quebec, Canada. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at CYMX Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport, flying from the southwest at a heading of 40.0 degrees, at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 1,139 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 99 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -718 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 74 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 842 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 673 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used 19,169 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A380 has successfully landed at CYMX Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport, achieving a score of 89.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 40.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,139 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 06, which has a length of 3,653 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 142 knots, which was above the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 99 meters, indicating a good landing performance. However, the touchdown speed was considered fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -718 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.0 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cold, with a temperature of -20°C, and a light wind of 3 knots from a direction of 74°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 842 meters, which is 23% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.8 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that affected the initial touchdown position.
Overall, the landing performance of the Airbus A380 at CYMX Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport was satisfactory, with some areas for improvement. The aircraft's ability to stop within a reasonable distance and maintain control during the rollout phase was a positive aspect of the landing. However, the heavy touchdown rate and slightly misaligned touchdown and rollout positions suggest that the pilots may need to work on refining their landing techniques to achieve a higher score.
