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 A320ceo taxied from the parking area to the departure runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 29, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 167 kt and became airborne after traveling 6,658 ft, representing 58 % of the runway length. Local weather at the time was 78 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 340°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 2 nm east of Schwechat, with the airplane climbing from 1,599 ft asl to 33,899 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,300 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 100 nm.
Level cruise began 1 nm north of Oberzeiring and continued for 47 minutes, during which the flight covered 354 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated overhead Pigna in Liguria, Italy, with the aircraft descending from 33,998 ft asl to 1,256 ft asl, a loss of 32,742 ft over 24 minutes and a distance of 129 nm.
The final approach to runway 31L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport was flown from the southeast on a heading of 317.0°, intercepting the glide path at 3 nm and 1,227 ft agl. The final segment descended from 1,766 ft agl to 110 ft agl in 97 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 31L, which is 7,604 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 138 kt. Touchdown occurred 928 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 124 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 273 fpm and perfect runway-centerline alignment. Local weather at landing was 84 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 239°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The rollout distance measured 4,587 ft, equivalent to 60 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was described as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 594 nm, required 101 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,683 lb of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo commenced its final approach to runway 31L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport from the south-east on a heading of 317.0° at 3 nm and 1,227 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, with sink rate too high and the aircraft off the glideslope; the descent continued from 1,766 ft agl to 110 ft agl in 97 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 138 kt. The flare proceeded from this condition without further comment.
Touchdown occurred 928 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 124 kt that was judged good; the vertical rate was fair at minus 273 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Total landing distance measured 4,587 ft, representing 60 % of the 7,604 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was very good; local weather was 84 °F with wind 4 kt from 239°, a 4 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind component.
The unstable approach and slightly high threshold speed indicate the need to refine speed and vertical control to achieve a stabilized profile by the 1,000 ft gate. Maintaining the target speed and a proper sink rate will improve the gate assessment and overall score, which was 74.5 %.
