Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 139 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 132 kt against a VREF of 139 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 139 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
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.
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: centreline 1.5° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 139 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,604 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,604 m of the 2,353 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 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 20 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 20, the Airbus A320 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 143 kt and left the runway after traveling 2,092 m, which represented 65 % of the available length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 22 °C, wind from 300° at 2 kt, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead Alvalade, rising from 1,286 ft asl to 37,999 ft asl - an altitude gain of 36,713 ft - in 20 minutes while covering 149 nm.
Cruise began 2 miles south of Acehuche in Spain and was maintained for 56 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 433 nm at level flight.
Descent was initiated 8 miles south-west of El Toro, descending from 38,009 ft asl to 1,294 ft asl - a loss of 36,715 ft - over 20 minutes and a distance of 122 nm.
The final approach to runway 19 at LEMH Menorca Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 188.0° at 4 nm and 984 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C, wind from 140° at 2 kt, a cross-wind of 2 kt and a head-wind of 2 kt.
Touchdown occurred on runway 19 with a threshold speed of 132 kt; the aircraft contacted the surface 87 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 130 kt, a vertical rate of minus 320 fpm, and a perfectly aligned runway attitude.
Runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,525 m, representing 65 % of the runway length, and the alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight distance was 713 nm, the elapsed time was 108, and fuel consumption amounted to 3,507 kg.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 19 at LEMH Menorca Airport from the north, tracking a heading of 188.0 ° at 4 nm and 984 ft agl. The approach maintained the good threshold height indicated for the runway.
At the threshold the aircraft held a good speed of 132 kt, meeting the expected value for the phase.
Touchdown occurred 87 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 130 kt, noted as a little fast, and a firm vertical rate of minus 320 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,525 m, representing 65 % of the 2,353 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
Reduce touchdown speed to be closer to VREF and aim to touch down within the touchdown zone to refine the already high-scoring landing.
