Be on speed by the gate
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,579 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,579 m of the 3,349 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 20C at KBNA Nashville International Airport in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 20C, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 140 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,037 m, which represented 43 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 28 °C.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of KBNA, with the airplane ascending from 1,469 ft asl to 39,699 ft asl - a gain of 38,230 ft - over 43 minutes while covering 306 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Martinsburg, Missouri, and continued for 145 minutes, during which 1,093 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent phase one started 6 miles north-east of MT52 Nine Mile Airport Huson, Montana, with a reduction from 40,030 ft asl to 6,404 ft asl - a loss of 33,627 ft - in 18 minutes, covering 132 nm.
A brief cruise over the 12WA Fowlers Northwest 40 Airport area near Spokane lasted 3 minutes and spanned 14 nm.
Descent phase two began 4 miles south-west of WA49 Flying R Ranch Airport Cheney, Washington, descending from 5,796 ft asl to 3,680 ft asl - a decrease of 2,117 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 8 nm.
On final approach to runway 03 at KGEG Spokane International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,354 ft agl to 23 ft agl in 107 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 03, which is 3,349 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 122 kt (slightly below target), a touchdown distance of 325 m, touchdown speed of 117 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 288 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 3 kt from 80°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,489 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,560 nm, took 220, and consumed 9,199 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 03 at KGEG was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,354 ft agl to 23 ft agl in 107 seconds, operating in 14 °C temperature, 3 kt wind from 080°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the speed was slightly below target at 122 kt and the threshold height was good. The descent profile continued smoothly from the final approach to the flare, maintaining the parameters recorded for the stabilisation gates.
Touchdown occurred 325 m down the runway at a speed of 117 kt, which was judged good, with a touchdown rate of minus 288 fpm rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,489 m, representing 44 % of the 3,349 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Fine-tune the approach speed to meet the target of 124 kt to eliminate the slight low-speed deviation, and adjust the flare to reduce the touchdown rate toward a gentler value for an even smoother landing.
