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 3,100 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 268 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Brussels Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 25R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,220-meter stretch of the 3,300-meter runway, which accounted for 37% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 138 knots, overcoming the negligible headwind of 0 knots and a crosswind of 5 knots from a direction of 329 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed over the town of Diegem in Flanders, Belgium, and continued its ascent to 28,574 feet above sea level, a gain of 27,473 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began over Mitry-Mory in the Ile-de-France region of France, lasting 27 minutes and covering 199 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Saint-Yrieix-sous-Aixe in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, and descended to 1,836 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,751 feet in 22 minutes, covering 121 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 05 from the southwest, heading 44.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,666 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 3,100-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 267 meters, slightly below the target threshold speed of 108 knots. The touchdown speed of 102 knots and the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 465 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 84 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,893 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 05 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, with a threshold height that met expectations. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 44.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,666 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 108 knots, but this did not impact the overall performance of the landing.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown characteristics were good, with a speed of 102 knots and a rate of descent of -156 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 267 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 35°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the centerline. The total landing distance of 786 meters, which accounted for just 25% of the runway length, was a testament to the crew's skill and the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.5% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
