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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lamezia Terme Airport (LICA), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 28, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,416-meter-long runway, which was utilized at 56% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots, clearing the ground and beginning its ascent into the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 24°C and a wind of 14 knots from a direction of 229°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Lamezia Terme, it transitioned into an enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile west of the airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,895 feet, a vertical increase of 36,866 feet, in just 19 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 379 nautical miles, as it flew southeast of Contursi Terme, Italy. The enroute descent phase began approximately 3 miles northeast of Kirchbach, Austria, where the aircraft descended from 38,380 feet to 3,402 feet in 16 minutes and covering 95 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Innsbruck Airport (LOWI), it initiated its final approach to runway 26, flying from the east at a heading of 257.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and at an altitude of 1,489 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 1,891-meter-long runway, utilizing 65% of its length, with a touchdown distance of 346 meters and a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The aircraft's touchdown rate was firm at -377 feet per minute, and its runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 600 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,764 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 104 minutes.
The final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 257.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,489 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 131 knots, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down smoothly on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 346 meters, which was within the expected parameters.
However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly above the ideal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -377 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle tailwind of 7 knots, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further facilitated a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,220 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision, resulting in a score of 96.7%.
