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 and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,692 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,692 m of the 2,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 722 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22 at London Stansted Airport, where the Airbus A321 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,361 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 149 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, from an altitude of 1,272 feet above sea level to 34,759 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,487 feet in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 3 miles south east of Bognor Regis, West Sussex, England, and lasted for 78 minutes, covering a distance of 529 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile south east of Olot, Catalunya, Spain, from an altitude of 34,315 feet above sea level to 29,487 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,828 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started again 6 miles south east of Tossa de Mar, Catalunya, Spain, and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent 9 miles south east of Tossa de Mar, Catalunya, Spain, from an altitude of 28,955 feet above sea level to 1,904 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,051 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at Menorca Airport was made from the north, heading 189.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,617 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19 at Menorca Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 304 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -154 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 290 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,609 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 765 nautical miles, taking 132 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,603 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LEMH Menorca Airport, achieving a score of 91.8%. The final approach to runway 19 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 189.0° at an altitude of 1,617 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a speed of 129 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was located 304 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kt, which may be attributed to the aircraft's approach configuration or the wind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 11 kt from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was 10 kt, while the tailwind component was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The total landing distance of 1,609 meters was 68% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. These deviations may be attributed to the wind conditions or the pilot's control inputs during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 91.8%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment with the runway centerline during the landing and rollout phases.
