Track the centreline 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 rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at KRDU Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The taxi-out required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft used 3,639 ft of runway, representing 49 % of the available length, and lifted off at 134 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 81 °F, wind 4 kt from 220°, with a 4 kt headwind and no crosswind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile southwest of KRDU, with the aircraft ascending from 1,191 ft asl to 39,133 ft asl, a gain of 37,942 ft. The climb was completed in 27 minutes while covering 184 nm.
The first level cruise began about 1 mile east of 2MD1 Recompense Farm Airport, lasting 25 minutes and spanning 193 nm.
Descent phase one started roughly 1 mile northwest of Broad Channel, New York, with altitude decreasing from 39,135 ft asl to 23,393 ft asl, a loss of 15,742 ft. This segment lasted 7 minutes and covered 54 nm.
A second cruise segment originated 3 miles southeast of Woodmont, Connecticut, persisting for 7 minutes and covering 50 nm.
Descent phase two began about 1 mile east of CT43 Spruce Airport, Jewett City, with the aircraft descending from 23,127 ft asl to 5,649 ft asl, a reduction of 17,478 ft. The maneuver took 14 minutes and encompassed 77 nm.
The third cruise interval started 9 miles northeast of Scituate, Massachusetts, lasting 5 minutes and covering 21 nm.
Descent phase three commenced overhead Beverly, Massachusetts, with altitude falling from 4,767 ft asl to 1,448 ft asl, a decrease of 3,319 ft. This final descent lasted 3 minutes and covered 10 nm.
On final approach to runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport, the aircraft approached from the north on a heading of 200.0°, at 4 nm and 1,412 ft agl.
Landing on runway 22L, which is 9,020 ft long, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 117 kt (slightly below target) and touched down after 1,099 ft. Touchdown speed was 114 kt, touchdown rate was minus 266 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 13 ft from the centreline. Local conditions recorded a temperature of 84 °F, wind 7 kt from 250°, with a 4 kt headwind and 5 kt crosswind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,278 ft, representing 47 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 597 nm, required 97 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 5,987 lb of fuel.
The Airbus A220-300 executed the final approach to runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport from the north, tracking a heading of 200.0° at 4 nm and 1,412 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 84 °F with wind 7 kt from 250°, providing a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft established a speed of 117 kt, noted as a little below target, and commenced the flare in preparation for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 1,099 ft down the runway at a speed of 114 kt, which was judged good. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 266 fpm, rated fair, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 13 ft from the centreline.
Rollout was very good, with runway alignment maintained throughout. The total landing distance was 4,278 ft, representing 47 % of the 9,020 ft runway, and the aircraft remained on the centreline for the remainder of the rollout.
Minor refinements should focus on achieving a slightly higher touchdown rate to move the fair rating toward good, and on tightening centreline alignment by a few feet to eliminate the small offset observed at touchdown.
