Settle the descent rate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 381 m short of the threshold. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04L, the A320-251N accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,433 m 54 % of runway and lifted off at 144 kt. Local weather at the time was 26 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 080°, providing a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Nice-Côte d'Azur, rising from 567 ft asl to 33,968 ft asl - an increase of 33,401 ft - in 17 minutes while covering 112 nm.
The first cruise segment began 3 mi south-east of Villarodin and continued for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 114 nm.
Descent phase one started over Lods, descending from 34,004 ft asl to 3,511 ft asl - a loss of 30,492 ft - in 25 minutes and covering 154 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiated 3 mi south of Rheinau, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 5 nm.
The second descent began 1 mi north-east of Bischheim, dropping from 3,511 ft asl to 2,381 ft asl - a decrease of 1,130 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 23 at LFST Strasbourg Airport reduced altitude from 1,986 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 60 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 23 was executed with a runway length of 2,395 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 160 kt. Touchdown occurred 334 m down the runway at 154 kt, with a very hard touchdown rate of minus 544 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was very good, and local weather reported 15 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 230°, giving a 5 kt head-wind and no cross-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,294 m 54 % of runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 397 nm, taking 72, and consumed 3,045 kg of fuel.
Aircraft A32-251N Aer Lingus EI-NSD completed the final approach to runway 23 at LFST Strasbourg Airport with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, noting a sink rate that was too high, deviation off the glideslope and a speed more than 20 kt above VREF. The descent progressed from 1,986 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 60 seconds and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local conditions were temperature 15 °C, wind 5 kt from 230°, with a 5 kt headwind and zero crosswind.
At threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 160 kt.
Touchdown occurred 334 m down the runway, a distance judged good, while the touchdown speed was too fast at 154 kt and the vertical rate was very hard at minus 544 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,294 m, representing 54 % of the 2,395 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the approach speed to meet the prescribed VREF to eliminate the excess speed recorded at threshold and touchdown, and refine flare timing to achieve a softer touchdown rate. These adjustments will bring the landing performance closer to the target parameters.
