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: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,465 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,465 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 266 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 11 at SBIL Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 404 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 30 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead SBIL Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level to 1,910 feet above sea level, an increase of 881 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Later in the flight, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started overhead Ilheus, Bahia, Brazil. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,902 feet above sea level to 974 feet above sea level, a decrease of 929 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at SBIL Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 65.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 943 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at an altitude of 807 feet above ground level.
The aircraft eventually landed on runway 11 at SBIL Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport, which had a length of 1,465 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots. The touchdown distance was 267 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -381 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 30 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 708 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 10 nautical miles, taking 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 297 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBIL Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport, achieving a score of 91.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 65.0° at 2 nautical miles and 943 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed on runway 11, which has a length of 1,465 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 116 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 267 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -381 feet per minute (fpm). This firm touchdown rate could have been a result of the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, deviating by 8.3 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to the crosswind component of 7 knots, which was present during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 30°, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 708 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite a few minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
