Be on speed by the gate
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 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 2,577 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 4.6° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.8° off, against a 1° limit and speed 94 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 88 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 8,702 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 8,702 ft of the 13,337 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,310 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague. The taxi-out required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24 the aircraft accelerated to a takeoff distance of 5,348 ft, representing 44 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 149 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 54 °F, wind 1 kt from 269°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced over Dobroviz in the Středočeský kraj of the Czech Republic. The airplane rose from 2,171 ft asl to 21,934 ft asl, an altitude gain of 19,763 ft in 8 minutes while covering 41 nm.
Level cruise began over Stenovický Břeh in the Plzeňský kraj of the Czech Republic. The cruise segment lasted 8 minutes and spanned 52 nm.
Descent started over Niederwinkling in Bavaria, Germany. The aircraft descended from 22,002 ft asl to 3,364 ft asl, a loss of 18,638 ft in 16 minutes, traversing 79 nm.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport involved a descent from 1,983 ft agl to 140 ft agl in 58 seconds. The approach was recorded as scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 08R at Munich Airport was performed on a runway 13,337 ft long. The threshold height of 77 ft agl was well above target and the threshold speed was high at 196 kt. Touchdown occurred 1,968 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 181 kt, a rate of minus 287 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 11 ft from the centreline. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 57 °F, wind 1 kt from 320°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 8,460 ft, representing 63 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area. The taxi-in took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 180 nm, took 44 (as reported), and consumed 2,866 lbs of fuel.
The Airbus A220-300 completed the final approach to runway 08R at Munich (EDDM) with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate: the sink rate was too high, the aircraft was off the glideslope and off the centreline, and it was more than 20 kt above VREF. Descent was from 1,983 ft AGL to 140 ft AGL in 58 seconds, and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates. Ambient temperature was 57 °F with a 1 kt wind from 320°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.
At the threshold the aircraft passed 77 ft AGL, a height well above the target, and the threshold speed was recorded at 196 kt, which was excessively high.
Touchdown occurred 1,968 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 181 kt, noted as excessively fast, and a vertical rate of minus 287 fpm, rated fair. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 11 ft off the centreline.
Rollout alignment was very good; the aircraft travelled 8,460 ft, representing 63 % of the 13,337 ft runway length, before coming to a stop.
To improve the score, focus on establishing a stabilized approach within the 1,000 ft gate limits and reducing speed to the appropriate VREF range, which will also help achieve a touchdown within the intended zone.
