Keep the wings level on final
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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,756 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,756 m of the 2,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 475 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied to runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly and commenced the departure roll, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,327 m which represented 46 % of the runway. Liftoff occurred at 160 kt under a temperature of 26 °C, with wind from 282° at 11 kt, a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.
After liftoff the aircraft began its climb overhead Paray-Vieille-Poste, rising from 1,291 ft asl to 29,046 ft asl - an altitude gain of 27,756 ft - in 13 minutes while covering 77 nm.
The first cruise segment started 2 nm south of Clemont and continued for 58 minutes, during which the airplane flew 391 nm at level altitude.
Descent commenced 29 nm south-east of Vilassar de Mar, with the aircraft descending from 30,000 ft asl to 2,785 ft asl - a loss of 27,215 ft - in 18 minutes and covering 99 nm.
A brief cruise followed, beginning 3 nm east of Manacor and lasting 3 minutes for a distance of 14 nm.
The next descent began 1 nm north of Lloret de Vistalegre, dropping from 2,751 ft asl to 1,279 ft asl - a decrease of 1,471 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 8 nm.
For the final approach the aircraft aligned with runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca, approaching from the north-east on a heading of 233.0° at 4 nm and 1,251 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 24L, which is 2,989 m long. The threshold speed was 140 kt; touchdown occurred 64 m beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt with a vertical speed of minus 230 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 5.1 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 29 °C, wind from 250° at 15 kt, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 14 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,680 m, representing 56 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment was reported as very good, and the aircraft completed the runway exit without incident.
In total the flight covered 595 nm, required 99 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3,854 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A330-900 approached runway 27 at LGIR Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport from the east on a heading of 275.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,402 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was good at 146 kt and the aircraft touched down 218 ft beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was recorded at 144 kt, noted as a little fast.
Touchdown occurred with a firm rate of minus 327 fpm and the wheel track was slightly misaligned by 22 ft from the centreline. Total landing distance was 4,004 ft, representing 45 % of the 8,900 ft runway, and the local weather was 81 °F with wind 6 kt from 310 °, giving a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Rollout alignment was very good.
To improve future performance, aim to achieve touchdown within the designated touchdown zone and reduce the touchdown speed to the target VREF. Maintaining these targets will further enhance alignment and distance utilisation.
