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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,632 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,632 m of the 2,700 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL), the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 10R, taking off with a distance of 1,732 meters, which accounted for 71% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots, overcoming a headwind of 10 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The local temperature was 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind direction of 110 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,050 feet above sea level to 35,841 feet, a vertical increase of 34,791 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the first one starting 57 miles south of Ocean Cay Heliport (MYBO) and lasting 11 minutes, covering 82 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb phase, this time from 35,896 feet to 36,920 feet, an increase of 1,024 feet in 2 minutes, before entering another level cruise phase. The final descent phase began 21 miles south of Pilon Airport (MUPL), with the aircraft descending from 36,726 feet to 2,424 feet in 19 minutes, covering 108 nautical miles.
The Airbus A320 finally landed on runway 12 at Norman Manley International Airport (MKJP), with a total landing distance of 1,554 meters, accounting for 58% of the available runway. The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.9 meters. The total flight distance was 573 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,145 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 12 at MKJP Norman Manley International Airport from the west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,453 ft above ground level, heading 111.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down 123 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 141 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -139 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.8 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32 °C and wind at 14 kt at 140°, resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 12 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,554 m, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.9 m from the centreline. Despite these deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.1%.
