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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 394 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered about 1 nautical mile. The departure roll occurred on runway 36 at KTLH Tallahassee Regional Airport, and the aircraft required a takeoff distance of 904 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 144 knots, and local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, a 2-knot headwind, and a calm crosswind.
As the aircraft lifted off, it began its enroute climb, commencing at 1 mile north of KTLH Tallahassee Regional Airport and climbing from 1,087 feet to 38,477 feet over a distance of 236 nautical miles in 32 minutes. The climb was significant, with an increase of 37,390 feet in a relatively short period.
Upon reaching its maximum designated altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 4 miles south-east of SC69 Shiloh Plantation Airport. This cruise phase lasted 109 minutes and covered a considerable distance of 1,346 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, initiating at 47 miles south of Burgeo, Newfoundland and Labrador. It descended from 38,980 feet to 2,430 feet in a mere 10 minutes and covered 68 nautical miles.
After a brief level cruise phase starting 12 miles north-east of Saint-Pierre, the aircraft continued its final descent. This approach phase was characterized by a heading of 239.0 degrees, an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the touchdown point.
Upon reaching LFVP St. Pierre Airport, the aircraft landed on runway 26. The local weather conditions at the time featured a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, a 10-knot wind, and a crosswind of 7 knots. The threshold height was reported as good, threshold speed exceeded the target at 134 knots, and the touchdown distance was 393 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly higher than ideal, at 122 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was rated very good.
Following a successful landing, the aircraft continued to taxi to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,665 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 159 minutes. The aircraft used 8,393 kilograms of fuel throughout the journey.
The Boeing 737-600 successfully landed at LFVP St Pierre Airport, with a final approach score of 99.7%. The approach was initiated from the north east, heading 239.0° at an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold.
During the landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 26, which is 1,794 meters in length. The touchdown occurred at a good threshold height, and the threshold speed, although a little above the target at 134 knots, was still within a safe range. The touchdown distance of 393 meters was also satisfactory.
However, there was a slight issue with the touchdown speed, which came in at 122 knots. This is a little faster than the desired speed, which could potentially affect the overall smoothness of the landing. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute was only fair, indicating that the pilots could have done a better job of controlling the descent in the final stages of the approach.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft's alignment with the runway during rollout was perfect, ensuring a safe and controlled stop. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a low wind speed of 10 knots from 290°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance of 844 meters, which accounts for 47% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. Overall, the pilots demonstrated a high level of skill and attention to detail throughout the landing process, resulting in a safe and successful touchdown at LFVP St Pierre Airport.
