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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,484 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 724 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport. This process took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 06R, and the takeoff distance was 1,690 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 239 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and there was a slight tailwind of 2 knots. The enroute climb started immediately after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 1,193 feet above sea level to 29,283 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,090 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Arnstedt, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and lasted for 30 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 229 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Balingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 29,280 feet above sea level to 2,816 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,464 feet in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 276.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,410 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 28, which had a length of 2,484 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 360 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The total landing distance was 1,396 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 372 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 3,273 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 28, achieving a score of 94.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 276.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,410 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 kt, registering at 134 kt. However, the touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 127 kt was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 0 kt from 360°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing process smoother. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,396 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures.
