Keep the speed up on final
See Arrival Final 2
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: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 282 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 24, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 1,181 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 148 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 229°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it started its ascent overhead Friedrichshafen, Germany, reaching an altitude of 21,078 feet above sea level in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The climb was a significant 18,722 feet, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude. The enroute level cruise phase followed, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude for 10 minutes, covering 69 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead Offenau, Germany, with the aircraft losing 11,744 feet in 8 minutes, covering 48 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple enroute level cruise and descent phases, with the aircraft eventually beginning its final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport.
The final approach was executed from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,377 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 124 knots and a distance of 282 meters. The touchdown rate was slightly hard at -480 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,047 meters, accounting for 26% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 9 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 232 nautical miles, with a flight time of 61 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,974 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport from the east, heading 250.0° at 4 nm and 1,377 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent, with a threshold height that was well within the acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 125 kt was also satisfactory, indicating a well-coordinated approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 282 m was within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 124 kt was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -480 fpm was slightly harder than desired, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 6.7 m from the centreline. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, were conducive to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,047 m, which accounted for 26% of the runway length, was acceptable. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 95.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
