Hold the approach angle
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,097 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,097 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 365 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 13 at LELL Sabadell Airfield, a movement that lasted 15 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 13, the take-off run was 261 m, representing 24 % of the runway length. Liftoff occurred at 52 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 31 °C, wind from 120° at 10 kt, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Barbera del Valles, rising from 1,340 ft asl to 3,767 ft asl - an increase of 2,427 ft - in 4 minutes while covering 4 nm.
The first cruise segment began over Cerdanyola del Valles and continued for 21 minutes, during which 32 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 1 mile south-west of Santa Perpetua de Mogoda, descending from 3,690 ft asl to 1,840 ft asl - a loss of 1,850 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
A second level cruise was flown over Sabadell for 3 minutes, adding another 4 nm to the flight path.
The final approach to runway 13 was executed from the north-west, on a heading of 125.0°, at 1 nm distance and 886 ft agl.
Landing on runway 13 occurred with a runway length of 1,097 m. The threshold speed was 62 kt, touchdown distance measured 359 m, touchdown speed was 43 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 115 fpm. Weather at the time was a temperature of 32 °C, wind from 119° at 12 kt, with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 12 kt head-wind component.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 507 m, representing 46 % of the runway, with alignment maintained throughout the rollout.
The aircraft taxied back to the parking area, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 47 nm, required 39 minutes of flight time, and consumed 5 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321neo conducted the final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 221.0° at 2 nm and 655 ft agl. Local weather was 18 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 310°, providing a 3 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 142 kt.
Touchdown occurred 540 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 128 kt that was a little fast; the vertical rate was good at minus 162 fpm and the touchdown point was misaligned by 8.0 m from the centreline.
The overall score of 92.9 % indicates a solid performance; reducing the threshold speed toward the target and aiming to land within the designated touchdown zone will tighten the remaining variances. Aligning more closely with the centreline on touchdown will also bring the result nearer to the optimum.
