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.

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: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 139 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 139 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 3,283 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,648 m, representing 44 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 159 kt; ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 309°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead Camarate, rising from 1,254 ft asl to 37,749 ft asl-a gain of 36,495 ft-over 22 minutes while traversing 145 nm.
The first cruise segment began 5 miles south of Fuentes de Onoro in Spain and continued for 201 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,397 nm.
Descent started 1 mile north-east of Roenneshytta in Sweden, descending from 37,982 ft asl to 2,511 ft asl, a loss of 35,471 ft in 18 minutes and a distance of 112 nm.
A brief cruise followed, overhead Brunna in Stockholm County, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
Final approach to runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport reduced altitude from 1,365 ft agl to 42 ft agl in 109 seconds, with the aircraft meeting the stabilisation gates criteria.
Landing on runway 01L, whose total length is 3,283 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 135 kt; touchdown occurred 439 m down the runway at 133 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 377 fpm and very good alignment.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the total landing distance recorded was 1,090 m, equivalent to 33 % of the runway length.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,671 nm, required 253 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 8,349 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320neo approached runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda, descending from 1,365 ft agl to 42 ft agl in 109 seconds. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being more than 5 kt below VREF, and the flight was scored on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft achieved a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 439 m, touchdown speed was good at 133 kt, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 377 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and the local weather was temperature 4 °C, wind 2 kt at 0°, crosswind 0 kt, headwind 2 kt.
Touchdown occurred 439 m down the runway at a speed of 133 kt with a firm rate of minus 377 fpm, and the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the centreline.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,090 m, representing 33 % of the 3,283 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Future flights should focus on attaining the correct approach speed at the 1,000 ft gate to avoid the more-than-5 kt deficit and on moderating the touchdown rate to achieve a smoother landing.
