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 6,233 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,233 ft of the 10,103 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,823 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A300, then departed from runway 31L at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) in New York, United States. The takeoff distance was 753 feet, which accounted for 8% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40°F, with a wind speed of 27 knots at a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 26 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of Howard Beach, New York. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 164 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 981 feet above sea level to 34,883 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,903 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 130 minutes and covered a distance of 1,074 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of 38.884715 and a longitude of -71.5505689. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 30 miles east of Cockburn Town in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,000 feet above sea level to 1,116 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,884 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles southwest of the Gregorio Luperon International Airport in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. The aircraft then started its final descent, which began 4 miles southwest of the airport. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 1,337 feet above sea level to 719 feet above sea level, a decrease of 618 feet.
The final approach to runway 08 at the Gregorio Luperon International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 77.0° at an altitude of 692 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 10,103 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots. The touchdown point was 1,458 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -167 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 5,968 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75°F, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 79°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,384 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 203 minutes. The aircraft used 36,183 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A300 aircraft successfully landed at MDPP Gregorio Luperon International Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, heading 77.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 692 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 10,103 feet. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or pilot adjustments.
The touchdown point was located 1,458 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 136 kt was also slightly above the target speed, indicating that the aircraft may have been descending at a slightly faster rate than intended. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 32 feet. This may have been due to various factors such as wind or pilot error. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centerline, which may have been caused by the same factors.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 6 kt at 79°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed.
Overall, the Airbus A300 aircraft demonstrated a good landing performance, with a total landing distance of 5,968 feet, which is 59% of the runway length. While there were some minor issues with alignment and speed, the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
