I usually hold the THR LVR at CLB till the sink rate is arrested. Mostly it works but I am afraid where GS is 3.3 or 3.5 and high altitude, might result in a very firm touch down.
Would love to hear views and experiences of other A320 folks.
If you know that a particular approach is tricky, why not just turn it off? Seems easier than trying to figure it out during the flare.
