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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London Heathrow Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 27R, with a takeoff distance of 794 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,145 feet above sea level to 22,343 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,198 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Harmondsworth in Greater London, England. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 244 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place over Wrotham in Kent, England.
The aircraft then began its descent from 22,848 feet above sea level to 10,483 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,365 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. This descent started 8 miles northwest of Bray-Dunes in Hauts-de-France, France. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place over Zwevezele in Flanders, Belgium.
The aircraft then began its descent from 9,567 feet above sea level to 3,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,536 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile east of Destelbergen in Flanders, Belgium. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place over Heindonk in Flanders, Belgium.
The final descent phase began 1 mile southeast of Begijnendijk in Flanders, Belgium, where the aircraft descended from 3,036 feet above sea level to 1,640 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,397 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport, flying from the northeast at a heading of 245.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,495 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 200 degrees.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 25R, with a touchdown distance of 317 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 95 knots, and the touchdown rate was -178 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 692 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway.
The total flight distance was 216 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,865 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,495 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 95 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 100 kt. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 317 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was also 2 kt. These conditions contributed to a stable and controlled landing.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -178 fpm was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's precision and skill in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The total landing distance of 692 meters was only 22% of the runway length, which is a testament to the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's speed and descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 96.7% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance in challenging weather conditions.
