Track the centreline
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 4.7° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 4.0° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,696 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,696 m of the 2,823 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 18L, taking off with a liftoff speed of 166 kt after a takeoff distance of 2,138 meters, which covered 52% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 32 °C, with a wind speed of 5 kt at 143 °, resulting in a 3 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent 1 mile southwest of the departure airport, reaching a height of 36,011 ft asl after an increase of 34,426 ft in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nm. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 25 minutes and covering 632 nm, before the aircraft started its descent 6 miles northeast of the UT09 Tavaputs Ranch Airport. The descent phase saw a decrease of 30,434 ft in 15 minutes, covering 117 nm, before the aircraft began its final approach to runway 35 at Salt Lake City International Airport.
The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 355.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,360 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 136 kt, and the touchdown point was 93 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt and a touchdown rate of -241 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,619 meters, covering 57% of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After taxiing to the parking from the runway, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nm in 6 minutes, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 888 nm and a fuel consumption of 5,573 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 35 at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 136 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 128 kt was recorded, which was within the desired range.
The touchdown point was located 93 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the touchdown rate of -241 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot had some control over the aircraft's descent during the final stages of the approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment with the centreline, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stabilize the aircraft after touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,619 m was 57% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.9% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the approach and landing phases.
