Be on speed by the gate
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: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 142 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 142 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,320 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,075 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 02L at KBNA Nashville International Airport, a movement that required 22 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02L, the aircraft used 6,280 ft of runway, representing 81 % of the available length, and lifted off at 152 kt. Ambient conditions were 59 °F with a wind of 1 kt from 268°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
The initial climb began 1 nm north of KBNA, where the airplane rose from 1,502 ft asl to 6,540 ft asl, gaining 5,039 ft in 6 minutes while covering 9 nm.
A level cruise segment started 2 nm south of Goodlettsville and lasted 3 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 6 nm.
The next climb segment commenced 5 nm north of KJWN John C Tune Airport, climbing from 7,010 ft asl to 30,985 ft asl, an increase of 23,975 ft achieved in 30 minutes over a distance of 82 nm.
Following that, a cruise phase began 8 nm south of TN16 Huntingdon Airport, lasting 5 minutes and covering 14 nm.
The en-route descent started 5 nm east of M53 Humboldt Mun, with the aircraft descending from 30,675 ft asl to 2,952 ft asl, a loss of 27,723 ft in 53 minutes while traversing 95 nm.
A subsequent level cruise originated 1 nm south-west of MS9 Eagles Ridge, extending for 13 minutes and covering 12 nm.
On final approach to runway 36L at KMEM Memphis International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,328 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 274 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 36L, which is 9,320 ft long, the threshold speed was 137 kt. Touchdown occurred 630 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 224 fpm and perfect runway-alignment. The total landing distance was 4,150 ft, representing 45 % of the runway. Local weather at the time was 64 °F with a wind of 1 kt from 50°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind of 1 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 228 nm, required 141 minutes of flight time, and consumed 3,437 lb of fuel.
The approach to runway 36L at KMEM was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 5 kt below VREF. The aircraft descended from 1,328 ft AGL to 71 ft AGL in 274 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 64 °F with wind 1 kt from 050°, including 1 kt crosswind and 1 kt headwind.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 137 kt.
Touchdown occurred 630 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 127 kt, which was rated good. The vertical touchdown rate was fair at minus 224 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 4,150 ft, representing 45 % of the 9,320 ft runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Reduce the approach speed to meet or exceed VREF by the 1,000 ft gate to obtain a stable approach, and adjust flare timing to moderate the vertical rate and bring the touchdown point nearer the intended zone.
