Keep the wings level on final
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,283 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at Teesside International Airport (EGNV). The aircraft, an Airbus A320, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 146 kt, covering a distance of 337 m, which was 15% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14 °C and a wind speed of 9 kt from a direction of 313 °, resulting in a crosswind of 9 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Eaglescliffe, Stockton-on-Tees, England. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,161 ft to 5,926 ft in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by an 8-minute level cruise 1 mile south east of Thornaby-on-Tees, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 5,926 ft and covered a distance of 6 nm.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile west of Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees, England, where the aircraft started its descent from 5,590 ft to 2,514 ft in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. This was followed by a 6-minute level cruise 1 mile west of Stillington, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 2,514 ft and covered a distance of 5 nm.
The final descent phase began 1 mile west of Teesside International Airport, Darlington, England, where the aircraft descended from 2,334 ft to 1,748 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. The aircraft then entered a 2-minute level cruise 1 mile north east of Middleton Tyas, North Yorkshire, England, during which it maintained a steady altitude of 1,748 ft and covered a distance of 3 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 at Teesside International Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 46.0 ° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,401 ft above ground level. However, the aircraft was required to execute a go-around at an altitude of 81 ft above ground level.
The aircraft then made a successful landing on runway 05, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt and a touchdown distance of 321 m, which was 37% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was hard at -418 fpm, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 °C and a wind speed of 10 kt from a direction of 309 °, resulting in a crosswind of 10 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance was 838 m, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 41 nm, and the flight duration was 56 minutes. The aircraft used 2,165 kg of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Teesside International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 46.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,401 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 speed was within the acceptable range, at 132 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 321 meters. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the recommended limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than expected, at -418 feet per minute (fpm), which may require some adjustments to the pilot's technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 309°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, which is a testament to their skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 838 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's performance was commendable, considering the challenging weather conditions.
