Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,999 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 321 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. This process took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 01L, with a takeoff distance of 1,179 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 12°C and wind blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. After departing from Oslo, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Gardermoen. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 145 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,680 feet above sea level to 37,487 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,807 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles northeast of Roros. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 331 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 16 miles southwest of Kjopsvik. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,928 feet above sea level to 1,708 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,221 feet.
The final approach to runway 36 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was made from the south, with a heading of 13.0° at an altitude of 1,667 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on runway 36, which has a length of 1,999 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 134 knots. The touchdown distance was 323 meters, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 606 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 3,260 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 13.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,667 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 1,999 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase.
The touchdown distance of 323 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and smoothly after touchdown. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -134 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any issues.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft is stable and able to stop safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 1 knot, which is relatively minimal. These conditions did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 995 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the aircraft's ability to stop safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The score of 98.1% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
