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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,436 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 293 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at Brussels Airport (EBBR) in a duration of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25R, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,995 m, representing 60 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 156 kt. Local weather at the time was 22 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 311°, providing a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The climb commenced overhead Diegem, rising from 999 ft asl to 33,008 ft asl - an altitude gain of 32,010 ft - over 18 minutes while traversing 123 nm.
Level cruise began over Pontpoint and continued for 114 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 837 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 5 miles north-west of Serpa, descending from 33,008 ft asl to 1,761 ft asl - a loss of 31,247 ft - in 15 minutes and spanning 76 nm.
The final approach to runway 28 at Faro Airport (LPFR) was flown from the east on a heading of 279.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,699 ft agl.
Landing on runway 28, which is 2,404 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 136 kt. Touchdown was achieved 308 m down the runway at 133 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of -147 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.7 m from the centreline. Weather at the destination was 25 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 240°, giving a 4 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,287 m, equivalent to 54 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted to be 10.4 m off the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,045 nm, took 157 (time units as reported), and consumed 6,893 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 28 at LPFR Faro Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 279.0° at 4 nm and 1,699 ft agl. Local conditions were a temperature of 25 °C, wind 6 kt from 240°, providing a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft exhibited a good height and a threshold speed that was slightly above target at 136 kt.
Touchdown occurred 308 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt that was a little fast and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 147 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 3.7 m, and the total landing distance measured 1,287 m, representing 54 % of the 2,404 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 10.4 m.
Fine-tune the approach speed to meet the target value and concentrate on maintaining centreline alignment through the rollout to reduce the 10.4 m deviation.
