Keep the speed up on final
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,529 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,529 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 374 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a takeoff distance of 1,062 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 165°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 300 meters above sea level to 10,662 meters, an increase of 10,362.1 meters. The aircraft covered a distance of 101 nautical miles during this climb phase.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Heiligenhaus in Germany. This phase lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 135 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Miltenberg in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 7 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 10,666 meters to 7,619 meters, a decrease of 3,046.1 meters.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of Schopfloch in Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 1 mile east of Fremdingen in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 9 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 7,591 meters to 1,937 meters, a decrease of 5,653.7 meters.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southeast of Sielenbach in Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Erdweg in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 4 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 1,812 meters to 839 meters, a decrease of 973.1 meters.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 84.0° at 4 nautical miles and 388.5 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 08R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 376 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, and the touchdown rate was -2.7 meters per second, which was considered very hard.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 77°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.6 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 9 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 373 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 2,488 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 88.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 84.0° at 4 nautical miles and 388.5 meters above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 376 meters and a touchdown speed of 133 knots, both of which were within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat concerning, coming in at -2.7 meters per second, which is considered very hard. This may indicate that the pilot may have been applying too much reverse thrust or that the aircraft's descent was not properly managed.
One notable issue with the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-center by 14.8 meters. This could be due to a variety of factors, including wind shear, pilot error, or a malfunctioning autopilot system. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.6 meters from the centerline, which may indicate that the pilot had difficulty maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 77°. This suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing, and the pilot should have been able to maintain control of the aircraft despite the slight headwind.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of managing the touchdown rate and maintaining alignment with the runway centerline. With some adjustments to the pilot's technique and possibly some additional training, the Airbus A320 should be able to achieve an even higher score on future landings.
