Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Adjust power to bring the approach speed onto 125 kt and hold it through the gates.
What happened: The approach speed deviated from the target through the stabilisation gates. This kind of deviation usually carries through to an unstable threshold crossing.
Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 125 kt.
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 91 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 38 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 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 2,549 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 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 14 at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (FIMP) in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 14, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,246 m 41 % of runway and lifted off at 138 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 23 °C, wind 7 kt from 119°, with a headwind component of 7 kt and no crosswind.
Climb commenced immediately after liftoff, beginning overhead FIMP and gaining altitude from 1,168 ft asl to 20,009 ft asl - an increase of 18,841 ft - in 11 minutes while covering 55 nm.
The level cruise segment started 29 miles south-west of Chamarel, lasted 6 minutes and spanned 39 nm.
Descent began 33 miles north-east of Saint-Benoit, with the aircraft descending from 20,002 ft asl to 1,362 ft asl - a loss of 18,640 ft - over 14 minutes and a distance of 68 nm.
Final approach to runway 14 at Roland Garros Airport (FMEE) was conducted from the west, on a heading of 116.0° at 4 nm and 1,304 ft agl.
Landing on runway 14, which is 2,549 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 119 kt. Touchdown occurred 324 m down the runway at 111 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 51 fpm and excellent alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 20 °C, wind 10 kt from 140°, a crosswind component of 4 kt and a headwind component of 9 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 772 m, 30 % of runway, and the alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 169 nm, required 43 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,379 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A220-300 made its final approach to runway 14 at FMEE Roland Garros Airport from the west on a heading of 116.0° at 4 nm and 1,304 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, and the local weather was 20 °C with wind 10 kt from 140°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 119 kt. The aircraft continued the flare and prepared for touchdown within the established parameters.
Touchdown occurred 324 m down the runway at a speed of 111 kt, with a touchdown rate of -51 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 772 m, representing 30 % of the 2,549 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 99.5 % the landing was excellent; a minor refinement is to increase the approach speed slightly to meet the target threshold speed while preserving the current flare and alignment technique.
