See Arrival Final 4
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,773 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,773 ft of the 12,289 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,993 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 04L at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). The takeoff distance was 6,460 feet, which is 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 35°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 39°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Springfield Gardens in New York, where the aircraft began its ascent from 1,053 feet above sea level to 32,328 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,275 feet in 19 minutes and covering 103 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Honey Brook in Pennsylvania and lasted for 171 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,128 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile northeast of Bynum in Texas, where the aircraft started its descent from 31,862 feet above sea level to 2,171 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,692 feet in 20 minutes and covering 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at Austin Bergstrom International Airport (KAUS) was made from the north, heading 179.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,639 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18R, which has a length of 12,289 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown point was 641 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 229°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 5,521 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,350 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 226 minutes. The aircraft used 20,955 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport, achieving a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,639 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 18R, which has a length of 12,289 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, at a point 641 feet from the threshold. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a slightly fast touchdown. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, at -108 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable characteristic for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 229°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 5,521 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the target touchdown speed and position, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
