See Arrival Final 4
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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,984 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,984 ft of the 9,025 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,773 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. This process took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 22L, with a takeoff distance of 4,690 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 65°F and winds of 4 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. After departing from Chicago, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Bensenville, Illinois. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 123 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,667 feet above sea level to 37,382 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Crawfordsville, Indiana. This phase of the flight lasted 38 minutes and covered a distance of 295 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Lebanon, Virginia. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 37,256 feet above sea level to 2,296 feet.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 36L at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The approach was made from the south, with a heading of 360.0°, and the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,542 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 36L, which had a length of 9,025 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 147 knots.
The touchdown point was 416 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 70°F and winds of 6 knots at 40°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 544 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used 7,792 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 36L, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,542 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway.
The threshold height was well within the acceptable range, and the threshold speed was above the target speed of 147 kt, indicating a controlled approach. However, the touchdown point was 416 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -67 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 6 kt from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, and the headwind component was also 4 kt, resulting in a negligible wind effect on the landing. The total landing distance of 5,727 feet was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with good control and precision, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway. The slight deviations from the target touchdown point and speed were minor and did not affect the overall safety of the landing.
