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 runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,288 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 66 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KFFT Capital City Airport took approximately 9 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 25, utilizing 74% of the 1,230-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 198°, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead the 05KT High Point Farm Airport, Frankfort, Kentucky, at an altitude of 1,718 feet above sea level. The climb phase was completed in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles and achieving a maximum altitude of 38,958 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,240 feet. The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 2 miles north-east of Salt Rock, West Virginia, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, starting 8 miles north-west of KHSP Ingalls Field Hot Springs, Virginia, and descending from 38,999 feet to 2,798 feet above sea level in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at KRIC Richmond International Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 143.0° at an altitude of 1,760 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 68 meters, a touchdown speed of 123 knots, and a touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 781 meters, utilizing 34% of the 2,288-meter runway. Following a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 374 nautical miles, utilizing 2,025 kilograms of fuel and taking a total of 63 minutes.
The aircraft FWB RYANAIR EI-DAH successfully completed a landing on runway 16 at KRIC Richmond International Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north west, heading 143.0° at 4 nm and 1,760 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 124 kt. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 123 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -198 fpm was also good.
The touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 68 m, which was within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 18 °C, wind at 12 kt from 190°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 9 kt. The total landing distance of 781 m was 34% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment with the centreline. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 99.5%. The minor deviation from the centreline during touchdown was the only notable issue, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
