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: gear still up and 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 2,442 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Guadalajara International Airport (MMGL), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 11, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 2,549 meters, which equated to 64% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 10°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Guadalajara, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southeast of the airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 6,057 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 32,570 feet, an increase of 26,513 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 241 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,955 nautical miles. The descent phase, which began approximately 7 miles north of Mona Airport (MDPU), saw the aircraft descend from a cruising altitude of 32,737 feet to an altitude of 1,298 feet, a decrease of 31,439 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (TJSJ), it began its final approach to runway 10 from the west, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 90.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 131 knots, and although the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly above the recommended value, the touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute was considered fair. The aircraft landed 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a taxiing period of 5 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 2,173 nautical miles, using 10,761 kilograms of fuel in the process, and lasting a total of 291 minutes.
The final approach to runway 10 at TJSJ Luis Munoz Marin International Airport was executed from the west, heading 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,271 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 131 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading and airspeed throughout the approach, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down 59 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a touchdown rate of -209 fpm, which was fair. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and winds of 10 kt at 50°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,186 m, which accounted for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.8%.
