Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 490 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 taxied from the parking area to runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33, the aircraft used 1,557 m of runway, representing 48 % of the available length, and lifted off at 150 kt; local conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 300°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Norderstedt, with the aircraft ascending from 1,054 ft asl to 37,981 ft asl, a gain of 36,927 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 149 nm.
The level cruise began 3 miles south of EKBH Svæveflyvecenter Arnborg and lasted 25 minutes, during which the flight covered 181 nm.
Descent was initiated 6 miles west of Tonstad, descending from 38,033 ft asl to 1,514 ft asl, a loss of 36,519 ft in 26 minutes and a distance of 133 nm.
Final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland was flown from the north on a heading of 170.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,348 ft agl.
Landing on runway 17 was executed with a threshold speed of 141 kt, touchdown occurring 70 m beyond the touchdown zone at 130 kt; the aircraft settled at a fair rate of minus 286 fpm, alignment was perfect, and the runway length was 2,709 m. Weather at the time was 11 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 130°, a 10 kt cross-wind and an 11 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,427 m, 53 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 471 nm, taking 84 and consuming 3,988 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 170.0° at 4 nm and 1,348 ft agl. Local conditions were 11 °C with a wind from 130° at 15 kt, including a 10 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind component. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the sink rate was too high.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 141 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold with the indicated parameters and prepared for flare.
Touchdown occurred 70 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 kt and the vertical speed was fair at minus 286 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance measured 1,427 m, representing 53 % of the 2,709 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To convert the high-sink-rate approach into a stabilized one, reduce the descent rate to meet the 1,000 ft gate criteria. Fine-tuning the approach speed to the target will also bring touchdown speed within the optimal range and further improve the already excellent score of 98.9 %.
