Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 117 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 112 kt against a VREF of 117 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 117 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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 six 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 39.8 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 22.0 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,008 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 938 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
