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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,148 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,148 m of the 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 678 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 22 at KSAT San Antonio International Airport; the taxi-out required 10 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,848 m, representing 71 % of the runway, and lifted off at 164 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 35 °C, wind 10 kt from 120°, a crosswind component of 10 kt and a tailwind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of Alamo Heights, Texas, with the airplane ascending from 1,705 ft asl to 36,006 ft asl, an increase of 34,301 ft achieved in 25 minutes while covering 152 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile north-west of XS94 Corralitos Airport, San Ygnacio, Texas, and persisted for 47 minutes, during which 356 nm were flown.
Descent started 9 miles north of Penamiller, Estado de Querétaro, Mexico, with the aircraft descending from 36,000 ft asl to 9,008 ft asl, a loss of 26,992 ft accomplished in 21 minutes over 122 nm.
The final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport was executed from the south-west, on a heading of 59.0° at 4 nm and 1,687 ft agl.
Landing on runway 05R, whose length is 3,521 m, was performed with a threshold speed of 150 kt. Touchdown occurred 267 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 146 kt, a vertical rate of minus 153 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 3.9 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 5 kt from 120°, a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind component of 3 kt. The total landing distance measured 2,073 m, equivalent to 59 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was described as very good.
Runway rollout proceeded with the aircraft remaining well aligned throughout the deceleration phase.
After landing, the Boeing 737-900 taxied from the runway to the parking area; the taxi-in took 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 641 nm, required 107 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 4,949 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 completed a final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport with a score of 96.4 %. The aircraft was aligned on a heading of 59.0 ° while 4 nm from the threshold at an altitude of 1,687 ft agl, under local conditions of 17 °C, wind 5 kt from 120 °, providing a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 150 kt. Runway 05R measures 3,521 m in length.
Touchdown occurred 267 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 146 kt, which the data notes was a little fast. The vertical speed at touchdown was good at minus 153 fpm, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.9 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 2,073 m, representing 59 % of the runway length.
Rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining well aligned to the centreline during the deceleration phase.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the target and aim to touch down earlier within the touchdown zone to eliminate the 267 m overshoot. Adjust the flare to achieve a more centered touchdown, which will further improve alignment and distance usage.
