Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 129 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 140 kt, 11 kt above 129 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 129 kt at the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.2° against the runway's 3° and speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,593 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 432 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.69 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo departed from runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport. The take-off roll was 1,108 m, 36 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 139 kt. Local weather at departure was 11 °C with wind 7 kt from 059°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 24 seconds, averaging 1,869 fpm and reaching 171 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 2,242 ft asl to 30,010 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 114 nm, with a brief level-off at 24,000 ft asl. Cruise was maintained at 30,000 ft asl for 25 minutes, covering 184 nm. Descent began from 30,003 ft asl to 1,635 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 104 nm, with a brief level-off at 3,000 ft asl.
For the final approach to runway 12L at LFMT Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport, descent from 1,688 ft agl to 65 ft agl took 117 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, centreline and wings level; they were not met for glideslope (one gate) and speed (one gate). The aircraft was in final flap position 3 at 2,991 ft agl with a speed of 201 kt.
Landing on runway 12L, which is 2,593 m long, occurred with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly above target at 140 kt. The flare was good, starting early. Touchdown was at 432 m from the threshold, with a speed of 128 kt (a little fast) and a heavy rate of -621 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was very good and perfect, respectively. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 978 m, 38 % of the runway.
Local weather at landing was 18 °C with wind 28 kt from 100°, giving a 12 kt cross-wind and a 25 kt head-wind. The total flight covered 409 nm in 69 minutes and used 3,054 kg of fuel.
