Settle the descent rate
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 2,448 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 6.6° against the runway's 3.5° and speed 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 137 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 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Zürich Airport (LSZH), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 34, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,551 meters, or 48% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 144 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 29°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Oberglatt, Kanton Zurich, Switzerland. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 2,384 feet above sea level to 16,735 feet, an increase of 14,351 feet, in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced overhead Oberried, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 16,487 feet to 2,410 feet, a decrease of 14,077 feet, in 10 minutes, covering 46 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at Strasbourg Airport (LFST), aligning itself with the runway from the southwest at an altitude of 1,881 feet above ground level.
The Airbus A320 landed on runway 05 at LFST, utilizing 35% of the runway's 2,394-meter length, with a touchdown distance of 328 meters. Although the threshold speed was slightly too high at 166 knots, the touchdown speed of 156 knots was also above the recommended value. The touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute was fair, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 87 nautical miles, with a flight time of 24 minutes and a fuel consumption of 983 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 05 at LFST Strasbourg Airport from the south west was executed with a heading of 48.0° at 2 nm and 1,881 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the desired level, reaching 166 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a touchdown distance of 328 m, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 156 kt was slightly too fast, and the touchdown rate of -247 fpm was fair. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 °C, with a wind speed of 2 kt at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 835 m was 35% of the runway length, which was 2,394 m. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and coordination during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 93.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
