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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,000 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 125 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 25C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in 14 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll the aircraft accelerated along runway 25C, achieving a takeoff distance of 2,137 m (54 % of the runway) and lifting off at 166 kt; ambient temperature was 21 °C with wind 12 kt from 232°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, rising from 1,319 ft asl to 38,697 ft asl-a gain of 37,378 ft-over 20 minutes while traversing 125 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead EDVK Kassel Airport Calden and continued for 134 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,006 nm at level flight.
Descent started 15 miles south-west of Kjopsvik, Norway, descending from 39,006 ft asl to 5,575 ft asl, a loss of 33,431 ft in 17 minutes and over a distance of 106 nm.
A brief cruise phase followed 11 miles east of Gibostad, lasting 2 minutes and adding 6 nm to the flight path.
Subsequent descent began 12 miles south of Tromsø, descending from 4,999 ft asl to 1,755 ft asl, a reduction of 3,244 ft in 4 minutes while covering 10 nm.
On final approach to runway 36 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, the aircraft descended from 1,795 ft agl to 34 ft agl in 113 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 36 was executed with a threshold speed of 128 kt; touchdown occurred 124 m down the runway at 127 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 755 fpm and very good alignment, while local conditions were 8 °C, wind 6 kt from 50°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 572 m, representing 29 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,260 nm, lasted 185 minutes, and consumed 5,959 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320neo approached runway 36 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes and was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 5 kt below VREF. The final descent covered 1,795 ft agl to 34 ft agl in 113 seconds and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 128 kt. Local conditions were temperature 8 C, wind 6 kt from 50 deg with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred 124 m down the runway at a speed of 127 kt, which was rated good, but the touchdown rate was very heavy at minus 755 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, the total landing distance was 572 m (29 % of the 2,000 m runway) and the overall landing score was 87.1 %.
Rollout alignment was very good throughout the remaining ground roll.
Maintain speed at or above VREF by the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stable approach, and manage the flare to reduce the vertical rate at touchdown, which will help avoid the very heavy touchdown observed.
