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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,822 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,822 m of the 3,609 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 04, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,536 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 30°. The aircraft successfully climbed from 1,126 feet above sea level to 36,664 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,537 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. This marked the end of the initial climb phase.
The enroute level cruise phase began 12 miles south east of Zhongxiang, China, and lasted for 86 minutes, covering a distance of 504 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 35,543 feet above sea level to 13,117 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,426 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. This descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which started 17 miles north east of Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 18 miles north of Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport and ended with the aircraft descending from 12,739 feet above sea level to 8,132 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,606 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 at Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport, heading 185.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,750 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 18, which had a length of 3,609 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 127 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -532 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were -3°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 180°.
The total landing distance was 1,735 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 662 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 128 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,904 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at ZLLL Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport, achieving a score of 95.7%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, heading 185.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,750 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 127 knots, which was slightly above the optimal threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 209 meters was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -532 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very hard, indicating a high rate of descent at the moment of touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.9 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,735 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing roll phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from optimal performance.
