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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,782 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,782 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 305 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, with the aircraft lifting off the ground after a takeoff distance of 1,005 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots blowing from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport and climbing to an altitude of 29,114 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,953 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southeast of Elstra, Germany, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Vilemov, Czech Republic, and descending from 29,655 feet to 13,420 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,234 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Mikulov, Czech Republic, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Gaweinstal, Austria, and descending from 13,453 feet to 4,200 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,253 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southeast of Winden am See, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Oggau, Austria, and descending from 4,033 feet to 1,890 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,143 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 344.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 34, which had a length of 3,602 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 142 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 306 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -513 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots blowing from a direction of 329 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,702 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then began its taxiing process, taking 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile to reach the parking area. The total flight distance was 318 nautical miles, taking 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,389 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) with a score of 96.2%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 344.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 34, which has a length of 3,602 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct point on the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 142 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended, or the pilots may have been trying to compensate for any crosswind or other factors affecting the approach.
The touchdown distance of 306 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilots had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final approach. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilots may have been trying to touch down as quickly as possible, or that the aircraft's speed was not well-controlled during the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown rate of -513 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, indicating that the aircraft was touching down with a significant amount of force. This may have been due to the pilots trying to touch down as quickly as possible, or the aircraft's weight and balance being not well-suited to the approach conditions.
Despite the hard touchdown, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots had a good sense of the aircraft's position and alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,702 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had a good sense of the aircraft's position and alignment during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 96.2%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the high threshold speed and the hard touchdown rate.
