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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m 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 at EFKT Kittilä Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 34, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 178 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -24 °C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 40°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of EFKT Kittilä Airport. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,630 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,411 feet, an increase of 33,782 feet in 22 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 139 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles south of Harads in Sweden. This phase lasted for 131 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 935 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 56 miles northeast of Hemsby in England. The descent took place from an altitude of 35,929 feet to 26,126 feet, a decrease of 9,803 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 34 miles east of Great Yarmouth in England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its next descent, which started 28 miles east of Lowestoft in England. The descent took place from an altitude of 26,005 feet to 6,658 feet, a decrease of 19,347 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Horam in England. This phase lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its next descent, which started 1 mile east of Horsham in England. The descent took place from an altitude of 5,502 feet to 3,304 feet, a decrease of 2,198 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead EGTD Dunsfold Aerodrome in England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its next descent, which started 2 miles northeast of Rudgwick in England. The descent took place from an altitude of 2,990 feet to 1,810 feet, a decrease of 1,180 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 77.0° at an altitude of 1,573 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which had a length of 2,495 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 120°.
The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 946 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 77.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,573 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -127 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled.
The touchdown point was located 87 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots, resulting in a relatively calm wind environment.
The total landing distance of 946 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there are some minor areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and improving the alignment during the approach.
