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 1,775 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,106 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 399 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 08R, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,337 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 10°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Munich, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 19 minutes, during which time it ascended from 2,534 feet above sea level to 36,554 feet, an increase of 34,020 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 131 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered 119 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying one mile south-west of Bronzolo, Italy. The enroute descent phase began overhead Varsi, Italy, and lasted for 27 minutes, during which time the aircraft descended from 36,996 feet to 601 feet, a decrease of 36,395 feet. This descent phase covered a distance of 143 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport (LFKC), it began its final approach to runway 36, flying from the south at a heading of 359.0°, at an altitude of 453 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,110 meters, with a touchdown distance of 400 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 136 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -396 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took one minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The total flight distance was 396 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 9,053 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 36 at LFKC Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -396 fpm, slightly above the target rate. The touchdown speed of 128 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft maintained good control throughout the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 453 ft agl at 1 nm from the runway threshold. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 136 kt was slightly above the target. The touchdown distance of 400 m was within the acceptable range, and the total landing distance of 944 m was 45% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline. The overall landing performance was excellent, with a score of 97.6%. The slight deviations from the target touchdown speed and threshold speed were minor and did not affect the overall quality of the landing.
