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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,373 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 966 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from St. Louis Lambert International Airport (KSTL), the L1011-500 aircraft began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 14 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it initiated a departure roll on runway 12R, taking off with a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 140°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 16-knot headwind.
The enroute climb phase commenced overhead Edmundson, Missouri, where the aircraft ascended from 1,601 feet above sea level to 36,862 feet, a vertical increase of 35,261 feet, in 17 minutes and covering 99 nautical miles. The flight then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for various intervals, including 29 minutes over southwest of Jasper County Flying Club Airport (7LL3) and 59 minutes over Martinsville, Indiana. The aircraft also underwent several descent phases, including a 2-minute descent from 37,042 feet to 35,699 feet over Middlebury, Indiana, and a 10-minute descent from 30,742 feet to 3,583 feet over Bear Creek Village, Pennsylvania. The final approach to runway 22L at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 211.0° and an altitude of 1,640 feet above ground level.
The L1011-500 aircraft landed on runway 22L at KJFK, with a touchdown distance of 972 feet and a touchdown speed of 140 knots. The total landing distance was 4,570 feet, accounting for 54% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 7 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 830 nautical miles, with a flight time of 134 minutes and a fuel consumption of 29,167 pounds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 22L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 146 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 972 ft was also satisfactory, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 140 kt was consistent with the expected value, and the touchdown rate of -461 fpm, although hard, was not excessive. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 56 °F and a wind of 10 kt at 129 °, presented a moderate headwind component of 2 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The aircraft's rollout phase was generally smooth, with a total landing distance of 4,570 ft, representing 54% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 36 ft from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 94.2% reflecting the high degree of control and precision demonstrated by the crew.
