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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,051 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 374 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm before lining up for departure.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 28 at LPFR Faro Airport, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 153 kt. Takeoff distance was 1,104 m 45 % of runway, and the local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C with wind 4 kt from 330°, including a 3 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
Climb began 1 mile west of LPFR, with the airplane ascending from 968 ft asl to 40,937 ft asl, an increase of 39,969 ft achieved in 45 minutes while covering 353 nm.
The first cruise segment started 40 nm north-west of DAOE Bousfer Air Base and continued for 186 minutes, during which the flight traversed 1,571 nm at level altitude.
Descent was initiated 56 nm north-east of HEAL El Alamein International Airport, descending from 40,853 ft asl to 2,713 ft asl, a loss of 38,140 ft in 20 minutes and covering 154 nm.
A brief second cruise commenced 2 nm south-west of HEEM Giza Embaba Airport, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 13 nm before the final approach.
The final approach to runway 05C at HECA Cairo International Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 49.0° at 4 nm and 1,360 ft agl.
Landing on runway 05C was executed with a threshold speed of 122 kt; touchdown occurred at 374 m down the runway with a speed of 116 kt and a descent rate of minus 164 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 5.8 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 835 m, representing 21 % of the 4,051 m runway. Ambient conditions were 35 °C with wind 5 kt from 320°, a 5 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, and the aircraft decelerated safely after touchdown.
The airplane taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm before stopping.
In total, the flight covered 2,098 nm, required 262 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 10,503 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 entered the final approach to runway 05C at HECA Cairo International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 49.0° at 4 nm and 1,360 ft agl, with a temperature of 35 °C, wind 5 kt at 320°, a 5 kt crosswind and zero headwind; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 122 kt, indicating the flare was initiated within expected parameters.
Touchdown occurred 374 m down the runway, with a good touchdown speed of 116 kt and a good touchdown rate of minus 164 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.8 m from the centreline, the total landing distance was 835 m (21 % of the 4,051 m runway), and the overall landing score was 98.2 %.
The rollout alignment was very good, keeping the aircraft on the centreline through the remaining distance.
To convert the high sink rate into a stable approach, ensure vertical speed is within limits by the 1,000 ft gate, and refine lateral control to eliminate the 5.8 m offset from the centreline; these adjustments will further improve an already excellent 98.2 % performance.
