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, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,687 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 387 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 14 at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,068 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 79 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Keitum, a town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The climb took 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 884 feet above sea level to 1,855 feet.
The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of Westerland, another town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 1,856 feet to 45 feet. However, the flight was not without incident, as the aircraft was required to perform a go-around on runway 06 at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport at an altitude of 12 feet above ground level.
The final approach to runway 06 was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 69.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,232 feet. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 381 meters, but the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 901 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing.
The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight took 19 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,929 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,232 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 06, which has a length of 1,687 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt, coming in at 141 kt. This minor deviation did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 381 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is considered fair, but it could be improved upon.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and winds of 16 kt at 80°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 15 kt.
The total landing distance was 901 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown rates, the pilot's performance was still considered good.
