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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,688 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,688 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 638 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bilbao Airport (LEBB), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 30, it was cleared for departure roll, and the takeoff distance of 992 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway, was successfully covered. The liftoff speed of 149 knots was achieved, and the aircraft began its ascent into the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 13°C and a wind of 8 knots at 339°.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,117 feet above sea level to 32,921 feet, it covered a distance of 88 nautical miles in 14 minutes, demonstrating a steady and efficient climb. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 2 miles east of Pedrosa de Rio-Urbel, and the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 21 minutes, covering 149 nautical miles. The descent phase began 3 miles north of Mogadouro Airfield, and the aircraft descended from 32,681 feet to 1,965 feet in 20 minutes, covering 112 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35 at Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport was conducted from the south, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, a touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute, and a runway touchdown alignment that was very good.
The landing distance of 1,602 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 358 nautical miles was completed in 68 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,366 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 132 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 124 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and at a rate of -152 fpm, indicating a controlled and smooth touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 218 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,602 m, which accounted for 53% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Despite this, the overall score of 92.1% reflects a well-executed landing, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
