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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,736 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,736 m of the 4,890 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 519 m past the threshold — beyond 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 30 at Missoula International Airport (KMSO) in Missoula, Montana. The takeoff distance was 1,866 meters, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Missoula, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of the airport. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 144 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 4,190 feet above sea level to 35,020 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,830 feet. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of -3°C.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southeast of the Wood Strip Helena (MT68) in Montana. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 323 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles southwest of the Platt Ranch Airport (WY51) in Wyoming. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 34,991 feet above sea level to 6,652 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,339 feet.
The final approach to runway 16R at Denver International Airport (KDEN) was made from the north, with a heading of 178.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,315 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots.
The landing on runway 16R was successful, with a touchdown point 108 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 1,660 meters, which was 34% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 590 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 4,250 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Denver International Airport (KDEN) on runway 16R, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,315 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 150 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly above the optimal range, indicating that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 108 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,660 meters was 34% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-900 at KDEN was satisfactory, with a high score and minimal deviations from the optimal approach and landing parameters.
