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 3,192 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 797 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Departure roll was executed on runway 09 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport; the aircraft used 992 m of runway, representing 61 % of the available length, and lifted off at 138 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced overhead LXGB, ascending from 1,087 ft asl to 34,695 ft asl, an increase of 33,608 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 96 nm.
The first cruise segment began 46 miles west of Asilah (Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, Morocco) and lasted 60 minutes, during which 451 nm were flown.
Descent phase one started 54 miles north-east of Caleta de Sebo (Canary Islands, Spain), descending from 35,016 ft asl to 10,226 ft asl, a loss of 24,790 ft in 8 minutes and covering 59 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated 4 miles west of Haria (Canary Islands, Spain), lasting 37 minutes and encompassing 176 nm.
Descent phase two began 17 miles south-east of El Medano (Canary Islands, Spain), dropping from 9,873 ft asl to 7,289 ft asl, a decrease of 2,585 ft in 3 minutes while covering 15 nm.
The third cruise segment started 14 miles south of El Medano, lasted 2 minutes and covered 7 nm.
Descent phase three originated 14 miles south of GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, descending from 7,007 ft asl to 2,023 ft asl, a loss of 4,985 ft in 6 minutes and spanning 24 nm.
A fourth cruise segment began 10 miles south-west of Playa de las Americas (Canary Islands, Spain), lasted 5 minutes and covered 13 nm.
Final approach to runway 07 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport was conducted from the south-west, on a heading of 68.0° at 4 nm and 1,811 ft agl.
Landing on runway 07, which is 3,192 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 126 kt. Touchdown was recorded 373 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 107 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 106 fpm; the touchdown point was misaligned by 10.3 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
The aircraft rolled out over a distance of 1,280 m, representing 40 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained offset by 10.3 m from the centreline.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 847 nm, took 151, and consumed 5,354 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 07 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 68.0° at 4 nm and 1,811 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, with a sink rate too high and the aircraft off the glideslope.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft had a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 126 kt. Touchdown speed was 107 kt and the touchdown rate was smooth at minus 106 fpm. The touchdown point occurred 373 m beyond the touchdown zone. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component.
Touchdown on runway 07, whose length is 3,192 m, was recorded 373 m beyond the touchdown zone at 107 kt and minus 106 fpm, with the aircraft misaligned by 10.3 m from the centreline.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,280 m, representing 40 % of the runway, and the aircraft remained slightly misaligned by 10.3 m from the centreline during the rollout.
Refine lateral control to reduce the 10.3 m centreline deviation observed at touchdown and throughout rollout, aiming for tighter alignment while maintaining the current speed and rate performance.
