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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,666 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 4.8° against the runway's 3.5° and centreline 9.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,106 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 378 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport's runway 26L, the Airbus A321 initiated its takeoff roll, covering 1,424 meters, or 36% of the runway, before lifting off at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 7 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Hallbergmoos, a small town in Bavaria, Germany. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 2,519 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,869 feet, a vertical gain of 36,350 feet, in just 22 minutes, while covering a distance of 146 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered its level cruise phase, which started approximately 1 mile north of Andalo, a town in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy. This phase lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 2 miles northeast of Torriglia, a town in the Liguria region of Italy, and saw the aircraft descend from a maximum altitude of 39,030 feet to an altitude of 1,298 feet, a vertical loss of 37,732 feet, in 22 minutes, while covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles, approximately 1 mile southeast of Calvi, a town on the island of Corsica, France.
As the aircraft began its final approach to Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport's runway 36, it was flying at an altitude of 285 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots, slightly above the target speed, and a touchdown distance of 379 meters, which was considered good. The aircraft's touchdown rate was, however, quite high at -515 feet per minute. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 402 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,102 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 68 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 36 at LFKC Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport with a threshold height that met expectations. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a slight deviation in threshold speed, which was recorded at 140 kt, slightly above the target. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, and the touchdown distance of 379 m was within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 132 kt, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -515 fpm. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a headwind of 19 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying centered on the runway. The total landing distance of 1,027 m, which accounted for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 94.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
