Hold the approach angle
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,748 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 884 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport, a movement that lasted 12 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 4,090 ft, representing 54 % of the runway, and lifted off at 146 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 79 °F, wind 3 kt from 0°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile west of KSAN, with the airplane climbing from 1,037 ft asl to 35,420 ft asl, a gain of 34,383 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 108 nm.
The first level-cruise segment began about 1 mile southeast of Encino, California, and continued for 63 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 504 nm.
Descent was initiated 16 miles east of OR09 Whitehorse Ranch Airport, Oregon, with the aircraft descending from 35,574 ft asl to 4,102 ft asl, a loss of 31,473 ft over 18 minutes and a distance of 111 nm.
A subsequent level-cruise segment started 2 miles west of Meridian, Idaho, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 10R at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field was flown from the west on a heading of 117.0°, at 4 nm and 1,282 ft agl.
Landing was made on runway 10R, which is 9,748 ft long; the threshold speed was 132 kt. Touchdown occurred 883 ft down the runway at a speed of 130 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 15 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance recorded was 3,970 ft, representing 41 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 736 nm, required 114 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 9,670 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 approached runway 10R at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field from the west on a heading of 117.0° at 4 nm and 1,282 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was temperature 57 °F, wind 5 kt from 090°, providing a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 132 kt. The flare was executed in line with the good threshold height, and the aircraft touched down 883 ft down the runway, a distance described as good.
Touchdown speed was 130 kt, noted as a little fast, while the vertical rate was perfect at minus 15 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, confirming the aircraft remained on centreline through the touchdown moment.
The total landing distance recorded was 3,970 ft, representing 41 % of the 9,748 ft runway length, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.6 %, the landing was excellent; the primary refinement is to moderate touchdown speed slightly below 130 kt to match the good threshold speed of 132 kt and further optimise energy management. Maintaining precise speed control during the flare will preserve the high overall performance.
