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: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,500 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 374 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 727-200 taxied from the parking area to runway 01 at MMVR General Heriberto Jara International Airport, a movement that required 35 minutes and covered 7 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 01, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,098 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 45°, including a 6 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead the departure airport, with the airplane ascending from 1,040 ft asl to 26,008 ft asl, a gain of 24,968 ft achieved in 11 minutes while traversing 62 nm.
The first level cruise segment began 7 miles south-west of Rafael J. Garcia, persisted for 7 minutes and covered 54 nm.
Descent was initiated over La Magdalena Tlaltelulco, during which altitude decreased from 25,694 ft asl to 9,012 ft asl, a loss of 16,682 ft in 9 minutes while flying 51 nm.
A second cruise interval started 1 mile west of Tecamac, lasted 6 minutes and spanned 19 nm.
Final approach to runway 04 at MMSM Aeropuerto Internacional General Felipe Ángeles was conducted from the south-west on a heading of 49.0° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 120 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 456 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 200.1 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 23 °C with a wind of 25 kt from 60°, including a 5 kt crosswind and a 25 kt headwind. The total landing distance measured 582 m, equivalent to 17 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment remained excessively off-centre, measured at 205.6 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 199 nm, required 46 minutes of airborne time and consumed 31 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 727-200 executed the final approach to runway 04 at MMSM Aeropuerto Internacional General Felipe Ángeles from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 49.0° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl while the local temperature was 23 °C and the wind was 25 kt from 60° with a 5 kt crosswind component and a 25 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold, indicating the aircraft crossed the threshold prior to establishing ground contact.
At touchdown the aircraft was travelling 120 kt, a speed described as good, and the vertical speed was hard at minus 456 fpm; the touchdown point was excessively misaligned by 200.1 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 582 m, representing 17 % of the runway length, and the aircraft remained excessively misaligned by 205.6 m from the centreline during rollout.
Improving lateral alignment on touchdown and maintaining centreline tracking through rollout will reduce the excessive offsets observed. Reducing the descent rate to a less aggressive value will also help achieve a smoother touchdown and better runway utilization.
