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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,657 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,657 m of the 2,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 583 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 from PAJN Juneau Intl to KSAN San Diego Intl was a smooth one overall. The taxi from the parking to the runway at Juneau International Airport took 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm. The departure roll on runway 26 at PAJN had a takeoff distance of 1,762 m, with the liftoff speed recorded at 171 kn. The local weather at departure was 6°C with no significant wind.
The enroute climb began 1 mile west of PAJN and lasted 23 minutes, during which the aircraft climbed from 1,066 ft asl to 35,344 ft asl, covering a distance of 143 nm. The subsequent level cruise started 21 miles southwest of Wrangell and lasted 198 minutes, covering 1,450 nm. The enroute descent commenced 2 miles northwest of Westwood, with the plane descending from 38,034 ft asl to 2,073 ft asl in 20 minutes over a distance of 109 nm.
The final approach to runway 27 at KSAN from the east was executed well, with a suitable threshold height and speed. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone and the touchdown speed was a bit fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -448 ft/m, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centerline. The local weather at San Diego International Airport at the time of landing was 22°C with a 3 kn crosswind from 189°.
The total landing distance was 1,581 m, covering 75% of the runway length, with a slight misalignment of 12.1 m from the centerline during rollout. After landing, taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,712 nm in 257 minutes and consumed 10,575 kg of fuel.
