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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,880 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,880 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 650 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Zürich Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 28, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 152 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,743 meters accounted for 70% of the runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground in a relatively short distance.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it encountered a local weather pattern characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb phase began overhead Rumlang, Switzerland, where the aircraft ascended from 2,353 feet above sea level to 20,019 feet in a mere 10 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles. Following a 7-minute level cruise phase over Stetten am Kalten Markt, Germany, the aircraft initiated its descent phase, which began 1 mile north of Mundelsheim, Germany. The descent from 19,528 feet to 1,618 feet took 15 minutes, covering 84 nautical miles.
Upon approaching Frankfurt Airport, the aircraft aligned itself with runway 25C, a 3,990-meter-long runway, and initiated its final approach from the east. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 147 knots, and the touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute was perfect. Following a total landing distance of 1,814 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 198 nautical miles was completed in 41 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 2,125 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 25C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, a 3,990-meter-long surface, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 136 knots, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute, demonstrating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was spot on, with the aircraft perfectly aligned with the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 5 knots, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,814 meters, accounting for 45% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal path. Despite this, the overall landing performance earned a score of 92.2%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
