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: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,007 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,007 ft of the 9,481 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 990 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 34L at KDEN Denver International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 7,609 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 80°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 288°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb began 2 miles northwest of KDEN Denver International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 6,356 feet above sea level to 35,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,643 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles west of WY63 Ray's Airpark Laramie, Wyoming. This phase lasted for 56 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 397 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 4 miles east of KBTM Bert Mooney Airport Butte, Montana, with the aircraft descending from 36,318 feet above sea level to 4,752 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,566 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at KMSO Missoula International Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 311.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,513 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 342 feet above ground level. The aircraft eventually landed on runway 30, with a runway length of 9,481 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 999 feet, but the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were 86°F temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 329°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,763 feet, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 595 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 111 minutes and a fuel consumption of 9,409 pounds.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Missoula International Airport (KMSO) with a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 311.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,513 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 9,481 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 135 knots, which is within the recommended range. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair. The touchdown distance of 999 feet was also within the acceptable range.
The landing distance of 4,763 feet was 50% of the runway's length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 329°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
One minor issue was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 18 feet off the centerline. This deviation was not significant enough to impact the overall performance of the landing. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at KMSO was a successful operation, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures.
