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 1,679 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,679 m of the 3,013 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 779 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, runway 14L, with a takeoff distance of 2,010 meters, utilizing 67% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots, with a local temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind of 19 knots at 229 degrees. The crosswind component was 19 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile east of the departure airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,873 feet above sea level to 37,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,130 feet, in 24 minutes and covering 150 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 37,003 feet for 10 minutes, covering 114 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with multiple phases of ascent and descent, before beginning its descent into Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north, with the aircraft touching down on runway 18 at a speed of 133 knots.
The landing distance was 1,596 meters, accounting for 53% of the available runway. The touchdown point was 361 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.7 meters. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 3,437 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 44,545 kilograms, and a flight duration of 229 minutes.
The approach to runway 18 at SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport from the north was executed with a heading of 162.0° at 4 nm and 1,416 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, but unfortunately, the threshold height at 61 ft agl was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired approach path angle. The threshold speed of 139 kt was also slightly above the target, suggesting a slightly steeper-than-optimal approach.
As the aircraft touched down 361 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 133 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, 4.7 m off centreline. The touchdown rate of -273 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a 13 kt headwind at 150°, may have played a role in the slightly higher-than-target threshold speed and touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,596 m, accounting for 53% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating excellent control and coordination during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 88.3%, reflecting a solid but not exceptional execution of the landing.
