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 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 1,538 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,538 m of the 2,722 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 533 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight, flown on an Airbus A320, began at Dublin Airport, where the aircraft taxiied for 13 minutes from its parking position to the runway, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Departing from runway 10R at EIDW, the aircraft lifted off after covering a total distance of 1,704 meters, which represented 65% of the runway length, with a liftoff speed of 190 knots.
With a local temperature of 17°C and a headwind of 10 knots at 100°, the aircraft's enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Ballymun, Ireland. The climb, which took 22 minutes to reach 36,880 feet above sea level, covered a distance of 143 nautical miles. The aircraft's ascent was quite steep, with an absolute increase of 35,676 feet in altitude.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered level cruise over Newport in England, where it hovered at an altitude of 36,776 feet for 18 minutes. This level cruise leg spanned 135 nautical miles. The subsequent enroute descent started south of Snodland in Kent, England, where the aircraft descended by 18,747 feet in 12 minutes, covering 83 nautical miles.
A short level cruise ensued as the aircraft flew over Koksijde in Belgium before continuing on its descent. A total of four level cruise segments were observed as the aircraft navigated through its route, hovering for a short period over various locations in Belgium. However, these short segments lasted anywhere from two to three minutes, suggesting they were more like temporary adjustments than steady state level cruises.
Descent segments, however, played a more significant role in this flight, with the aircraft making substantial height differences on multiple occasions. A notable descent occurred as the aircraft flew from an altitude of 18,024 feet to 10,027 feet over Vladslo in Flanders. This descent, although brief, covered a distance of 22 nautical miles in just 3 minutes. Another significant descent took place between Vladslo and Deinze, where the aircraft fell from 10,052 feet to 1,938 feet in 7 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. This descent allowed the aircraft to begin its final approach over the countryside.
The final segment of the flight involved a series of low-altitude maneuvers, with the aircraft climbing from 1,934 feet to 3,395 feet over Ronsquiers in Belgium in just 2 minutes. A short level cruise followed before the aircraft began its final descent, touching down on runway 01 at Brussels Airport (EBBR) with a threshold speed of 127 knots.
Landing conditions at the time were pleasant, with a temperature of 14°C and a headwind of 11 knots at 20°. Despite the aircraft experiencing a slight crosswind of 1 knot, the touchdown speed and rate were considered good and fair, respectively, while the touchdown position was only marginally off-center. The total landing distance covered 1,448 meters and occupied 53% of the runway, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxiied for 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile to reach its parking position at Brussels Airport. The total flight distance came out to be 455 nautical miles, while the total flight duration was 89 minutes. With an estimated fuel usage of 3,569 kilograms, the flight was deemed fuel efficient overall.
The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR), achieving a high score of 97.1%. The pilot began the final approach to runway 01 from the south, flying at a heading of 13.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,488 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was able to make a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot had a stable and controlled approach.
As the aircraft touched down, it did so at a speed of 114 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed of 127 knots. This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and was able to manage it effectively during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute (fpm) was only described as "fair", indicating that the pilot may have been working to control the aircraft's descent and may have encountered some difficulty in leveling out at the correct rate.
The landing also showed some minor deviations in terms of alignment. The touchdown point was located 108 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway was slightly off-center by 6.3 meters from the centerline. These deviations may not have been significant enough to cause any major issues, but they did indicate that the pilot could potentially work on improving the accuracy of the approach.
Weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,448 meters, which is just 53% of the available runway length. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to stop the aircraft relatively quickly, although further analysis of the data would be needed to determine the specific factors that contributed to this outcome.
Finally, the pilot demonstrated excellent skill in controlling the aircraft during the rollout phase, maintaining very good alignment with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with only a few minor areas where the pilot may be able to improve their performance.
