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 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,712 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 237 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 area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an MD-82, then departed from runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 1,959 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 190 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,154 feet above sea level to 28,796 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,642 feet. The enroute level cruise started 10 miles west of the 43CA Dick Taylor Airstrip in Kelso, California, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent 6 miles northeast of Big Bear City, California. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 28,936 feet above sea level to 1,330 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,605 feet. The final approach to runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 262.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,192 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 239 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was firm at -344 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 69 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,240 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 222 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 2,489 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The MD-82 aircraft successfully landed at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport on runway 24R, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 262.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,192 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 140 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 239 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -344 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 69°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,240 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the end of the runway.
