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 rest of the report
The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at RKSI Incheon International Airport in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16L, the aircraft used 8,298 ft of runway, representing 63 % of the available length, and lifted off at 170 kt; ambient temperature was 80 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 19°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind.
The initial climb commenced 1 mile south of RKSI, climbing from 1,028 ft asl to 35,642 ft asl-a gain of 34,614 ft-over 38 minutes while traversing 246 nm.
Level cruise began at latitude 35.0418233, longitude 122.7934915 and continued for 521 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 4,475 nm.
A subsequent climb started 85 miles northwest of Las Khorey, Somalia, raising altitude from 35,998 ft asl to 39,979 ft asl, an increase of 3,981 ft in 5 minutes and a distance of 44 nm.
The next cruise segment originated 93 miles southeast of Zinjibar, Yemen, lasting 52 minutes and encompassing 439 nm of flight.
Descent began 28 miles east of Debre Birhan, Ethiopia, descending from 40,000 ft asl to 8,959 ft asl-a loss of 31,041 ft-in 16 minutes while covering 110 nm.
For the final approach to runway 07R at HAAB Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, the aircraft approached from the west on a heading of 73.0° at 4 nm and 1,333 ft agl, then descended from 1,395 ft agl to 93 ft agl in 85 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 07R was executed with a threshold speed of 135 kt; touchdown occurred at 1,353 ft down the runway at 133 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 317 fpm and perfect alignment; local weather reported 70 °F, wind 3 kt from 119°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,209 ft, equivalent to 46 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout remained perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 5,327 nm, required 645 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 147,280 lb of fuel.
The Airbus A350-900 entered the final approach to runway 07R at HAAB Addis Ababa Bole International Airport from the west on a heading of 73.0° at 4 nm and 1,333 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, with a sink rate too high and more than 20 kt above VREF. Ambient temperature was 70 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 119°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 kt. The final descent progressed from 1,395 ft agl to 93 ft agl in 85 seconds, establishing the flare profile.
Touchdown occurred 1,353 ft down the runway at a speed of 133 kt, noted as a little fast, with a firm vertical rate of minus 317 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,209 ft, representing 46 % of the 11,264 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
To improve the score, focus on achieving a stabilized approach by reducing sink rate to stay within VREF limits, and trim the touchdown speed slightly toward VREF to lessen the firm rate while preserving alignment.
