Hold the approach angle
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 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,645 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,645 m of the 2,823 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 305 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at Denver International Airport in a duration of 7 minutes, covering a ground distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 144 kt and left the runway after traveling 1,676 m, which represented 46 % of the available runway length; ambient conditions were 33 °C with a wind from 180° at 7 kt, providing a 7 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
Climb commenced 2 mi southwest of Denver, with the airplane ascending from 6,364 ft asl to 31,891 ft asl, a gain of 25,526 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 68 nm.
Level cruise began 5 mi southwest of Hot Sulphur Springs and continued for 31 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 194 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 1 mi southwest of Duchesne, Utah, with a reduction from 31,822 ft asl to 5,807 ft asl, a loss of 26,015 ft over 18 minutes and a ground distance of 94 nm.
The final approach to runway 35 at Salt Lake City International Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 352.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,574 ft agl.
Landing on runway 35 was executed with a threshold speed of 128 kt, a touchdown distance of 307 m, and a touchdown speed of 126 kt; the aircraft experienced a hard touchdown rate of minus 509 fpm, and alignment at touchdown was very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 31 °C, wind from 280° at 14 kt (cross-wind 14 kt, head-wind 2 kt). The total landing roll measured 1,569 m, equivalent to 56 % of the runway length of 2,823 m.
Rollout alignment was measured slightly off centreline by 8.8 m, indicating a minor deviation during the deceleration phase after touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 366 nm, required 76 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,397 kg of fuel.
The Embraer E175 executed a final approach to runway 35 at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 352.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,574 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was Temperature 31 °C, Wind 14 kt at 280 °, Crosswind: 14 kt, Headwind: 2 kt.
At threshold the speed was slightly above target at 128 kt and the threshold height was good.
Touchdown occurred 307 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 126 kt that was a little fast. The vertical speed was very hard at minus 509 fpm and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,569 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 m from centreline.
Refine the flare to achieve a softer touchdown and reduce the vertical speed, and focus on maintaining precise centreline tracking during rollout to eliminate the small lateral deviation.
