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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,603 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,603 m of the 3,047 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 570 m 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 area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-200, then departed from runway 11C at YSBK Sydney Bankstown Airport. The takeoff distance was 571 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at 136 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Condell Park in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,057 feet above sea level to 26,274 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,217 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Kanahooka in the state of New South Wales, Australia. This phase lasted for 56 minutes and covered a distance of 334 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Mernda in the state of Victoria, Australia. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 26,135 feet above sea level to 4,969 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,166 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles south west of Mount Cottrell in the state of Victoria, Australia. This phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles south east of Little River in the state of Victoria, Australia. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 4,888 feet above sea level to 1,088 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,801 feet.
The final approach to runway 36 at YMAV Avalon Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 9.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,034 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 3,047 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 115 knots.
The touchdown point was 147 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the touchdown speed being 103 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -114 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 250 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,514 meters, which accounted for 83% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 423 nautical miles, taking 91 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,310 kilograms of fuel.
The British Aerospace 146-200 aircraft successfully landed at YMAV Avalon Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 9.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,034 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 59 feet agl, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target speed of 115 knots, registering at 103 knots. However, the touchdown speed was still considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -114 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown point was located 147 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown position.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's control inputs. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 250°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,514 meters was 83% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a smooth touchdown rate. However, the slight deviations from the ideal approach path and touchdown position may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique or the aircraft's performance.
