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 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Plan view — the full 1,519 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 264 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 Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 19, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,451 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 9°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Alexandria, Virginia, and reached an altitude of 23,781 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,740 feet in 9 minutes and covering 42 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of Montross, Virginia, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 9 miles southeast of New Kent Co Quinton, Virginia, and descended from 23,887 feet to 22,007 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,880 feet in 3 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Waverly, Virginia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles southeast of VA14 Southampton Correctional Center Airport Capron, Virginia, and descended from 22,060 feet to 1,473 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,587 feet in 13 minutes and covering 61 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Pitt-Greenville Airport took place from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 246.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,437 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 264 meters and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -523 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,161 meters, which was 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 24.0 meters from the centreline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 198 nautical miles, taking 46 minutes and using 1,860 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at KPGV Pitt-Greenville Airport, with a score of 86.4%. The final approach to runway 26 was initiated from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,437 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than desired at 132 knots, which resulted in a hard touchdown rate of -523 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 264 meters was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 290°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 5 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,161 meters was 76% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again found to be misaligned by 24.0 meters from the centerline, suggesting a slight deviation from the intended path. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance of the Airbus A319 was satisfactory, with a score of 86.4%.
