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 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 and 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 1,545 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,545 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 332 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 17R at LTFM İstanbul Airport, a major international airport in Istanbul, Turkey. The takeoff distance was 1,820 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 149°.
As the aircraft climbed out of LTFM İstanbul Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,298 feet above sea level to 33,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,704 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 6 miles southeast of Tavsanli, a city in the Kuetahya province of Turkey, and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 433 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 33,000 feet above sea level to 35,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,000 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 47 miles northeast of Rosetta, a city in the Beheira Governorate of Egypt, and lasted for 179 minutes, covering a distance of 1,497 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 35,336 feet above sea level to 37,030 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,694 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 28 miles southeast of Hadla Hadla, a city in the Ali Sabieh Region of Djibouti, and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 437 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 30 miles northwest of Jalalaqsi, a city in the Hiiraan province of Somalia. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 99 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,000 feet above sea level to 12,066 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,934 feet. The enroute level cruise then resumed 23 miles northeast of Mogadishu, the capital city of Somalia, and lasted for just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 22 miles east of Mogadishu. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 48 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 11,557 feet above sea level to 1,161 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,397 feet.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at HCMM Aden Adde International Airport, a major international airport in Mogadishu, Somalia. The approach was from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,113 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 335 meters and a touchdown speed of 143 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -504 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 70°.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at HCMM Aden Adde International Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,113 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 151 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -504 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very hard, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown. This could be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed and the aircraft's mass. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were able to manage the aircraft's trajectory and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,468 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed may require further attention and training to improve the landing performance.
