Settle the descent rate
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. 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 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 251 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,106 m (45 % of the runway) and lifted off at 140 kt; ambient temperature was 31 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 289°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
The climb commenced 1 mile south-west of LIEO, climbing from 825 ft asl to 29,337 ft asl-a gain of 28,512 ft-in 14 minutes while covering 80 nm.
The first cruise segment began 2 miles west of Casaglione, France, and lasted 40 minutes, during which 279 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent phase one started 1 mile east of Saint-Germain-la-Chambotte, descending from 29,755 ft asl to 6,883 ft asl, a loss of 22,872 ft in 13 minutes over 77 nm.
A short cruise followed 1 mile south of Tenay, lasting 5 minutes and covering 20 nm.
The second descent began overhead Chene-en-Semine, dropping from 6,678 ft asl to 2,957 ft asl-a decrease of 3,721 ft-in 5 minutes while traveling 17 nm.
A further cruise segment started 1 mile north-west of Chancy, Switzerland, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nm.
The final approach to runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport was executed from the south-west on a heading of 38.0° at 4 nm and 1,180 ft agl, with a subsequent descent from 1,337 ft agl to -257 ft agl in 112 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 04 was achieved with a threshold speed of 121 kt; touchdown occurred at 117 kt, 250 m down the runway, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 458 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.5 m from the centreline. The runway length is 3,570 m; total landing distance was 739 m (21 % of the runway). Local conditions were 21 °C, wind 3 kt from 56°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 495 nm, took 93 minutes, and consumed 2,977 kg of fuel.
Airbus A220-300 approached runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 38.0° at 4 NM and 1,180 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the centreline and more than 5 kt below VREF. Descent continued from 1,337 ft agl to -257 ft agl in 112 seconds, with the aircraft remaining below the target speed throughout the final segment.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 121 kt. The flare was executed with the aircraft crossing the threshold at the expected height, setting up the subsequent touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 250 m from the threshold with a speed of 117 kt, which was recorded as good. The vertical rate was hard at minus 458 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 739 m, representing 21 % of the 3,570 m runway. Ambient temperature was 21 °C with wind 3 kt from 56°, including a 1 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft remained centred for the remainder of the roll.
Improving approach stabilization to meet VREF and centreline alignment will reduce the need for corrective inputs later in the flight. Refining flare technique to moderate the descent rate will help achieve a smoother touchdown and further enhance the overall landing score.
