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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport). The takeoff distance was 594 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots at 219 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Charneca in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,370 feet above sea level to 36,285 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,916 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 71 miles west of Sagres in the Distrito de Faro, Portugal. This phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 274 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 116 miles northeast of LPSP Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira in Madeira, Portugal. The descent took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 143 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,669 feet above sea level to 1,463 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,206 feet.
The final approach to runway 23 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was made from the northeast, heading 225.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 131 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was 280 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,385 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 527 nautical miles and took 100 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,822 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance of 280 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating a potential for a slightly longer rollout. The touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a relatively light wind of 8 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,385 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down on the runway threshold and rolling out in a straight line.
