See Arrival Final 2
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 440 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Marseille Provence Airport, LFML, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 31R, it was met with a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 10 °C and a wind speed of 35 kt from 320 °, resulting in a 35 kt headwind and a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft departed, it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 164 kt, covering a takeoff distance of 1,364 meters, which represented 40% of the available runway length. The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,010 feet above sea level to 35,664 feet, a vertical gain of 34,655 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. Following a 69-minute cruise phase, during which the aircraft leveled off at 35,664 feet and covered 474 nautical miles, the enroute descent phase began approximately 2 miles east of Betheln, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 36,025 feet to 1,407 feet in 19 minutes and covering 101 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, EDDH, it began its final approach to runway 23 from the northeast, aligning with a heading of 230.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,347 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that exceeded the target value, at 149 kt, and a touchdown distance of 443 meters, which represented 36% of the available runway length. Although the touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly above the target value, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 719 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 2,311 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted 124 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 149 kt was significantly above the target, suggesting a high degree of control and precision. The touchdown distance of 443 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly above the target, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -287 fpm. This may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown, which could have been influenced by the wind conditions. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the crosswind component of 5 kt.
Despite the slight misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,018 m was 36% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was scored 98.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
