Keep the wings level on final
See Arrival Final 3
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 500 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,711 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,711 m of the 3,056 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 332 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,804 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 224 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was also 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,053 feet above sea level to 31,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,955 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles northeast of Crawford, Georgia. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles north of Calhoun Falls, South Carolina. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,008 feet above sea level to 1,983 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,025 feet.
The final approach to runway 36C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 356.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 36C, which had a length of 3,056 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 332 meters, but the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -537 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was also 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,637 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 241 nautical miles, which was covered in 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,578 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 36C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) with a score of 89.3%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 332 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast on touchdown. The touchdown rate was also very hard, at -537 feet per minute (fpm), which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 225°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,637 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's rollout path.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed and rate, as well as the alignment of the touchdown and rollout positions. However, the aircraft's performance was still considered good, and the landing was completed safely.
