Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 136 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 130 kt against a VREF of 136 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 136 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
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 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 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 136 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 136 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 2,586 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 430 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from its parking position to runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,645 m, representing 51 % of the runway, and lifted off at 154 kt; ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 56°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile west of Lagedi (Harjumaa, Estonia), with the airplane climbing from 1,169 ft asl to 36,000 ft asl-a gain of 34,831 ft-over 21 minutes while traversing 118 nm.
Level cruise began about 19 miles west of EVSL Vitrupes lidlauks Salacgriva (Limbazu novads, Latvia) and was maintained for 71 minutes, during which the flight covered 483 nm.
Descent was initiated roughly 1 mile south-east of Zarzecze (Podkarpackie Voivodeship, Poland), descending from 35,775 ft asl to 3,946 ft asl, a loss of 31,830 ft, in 20 minutes and over a distance of 101 nm.
The final approach to runway 09 at LZTT Poprad-Tatry Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 94.0° at 4 nm and 1,625 ft agl, with local weather reporting 10 °C, wind 9 kt from 56°, a 6 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind.
Landing on runway 09, whose length is 2,586 m, occurred with a threshold height of 73 ft agl and a threshold speed of 131 kt; touchdown was recorded 63 m beyond the touchdown zone at 126 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 371 fpm and perfect alignment, and the aircraft rolled out over a distance of 1,110 m (43 % of the runway) with alignment remaining perfect.
In total, the flight covered 709 nm, required 117 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 5,654 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 entered the final approach to runway 09 at LZTT Poprad-Tatry Airport from the west on a heading of 94.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,625 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.
At threshold the aircraft was 73 ft agl, a height described as well above the target, and the threshold speed was recorded as 131 kt, judged good.
Touchdown occurred 63 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 126 kt, also judged good, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 371 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,110 m, representing 43 % of the 2,586 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
Maintain the high overall performance reflected by the 93.7 % score, but aim to achieve the intended threshold height and reduce the touchdown point offset to bring the touchdown closer to the designated zone.
