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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,394 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 727-200 taxied to runway 04 at MMSM Aeropuerto Internacional General Felipe Ángeles and commenced the departure roll; the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 203 m, representing 6 % of the runway, and lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 27 °C with a wind of 25 kt from 054°, providing a 25 kt head-wind component and a 2 kt cross-wind.
Climb began directly overhead the departure airport, with the airplane ascending from 8 571 ft asl to 28 684 ft asl, a gain of 20 113 ft achieved in 8 minutes while covering 45 nm.
The first cruise segment started 7 nm east of Apan, Estado de Hidalgo, and was maintained for 5 minutes during which 39 nm were flown.
Descent commenced 6 nm north of Oriental, Estado de Puebla, with the aircraft descending from 28 969 ft asl to 2 082 ft asl, a loss of 26 886 ft in 17 minutes while traversing 87 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 3 nm south-west of Jamapa, Estado de Veracruz-Llave, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The subsequent descent began 2 nm south of Jamapa, descending from 1 920 ft asl to 653 ft asl, a reduction of 1 267 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 4 nm.
Final approach to runway 01 at MMVR General Heriberto Jara International Airport was executed from the south on a heading of 14.0° at 4 nm and 578 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01, which is 2 394 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 137 kt (slightly above target) and a touchdown distance of 408 m. The aircraft touched down at 132 kt, a rate of -199 fpm, and was offset 3.6 m from the centreline; total landing distance was 1 252 m, representing 52 % of the runway. Local weather at the time was 24 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 090°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and a 6 kt cross-wind.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
Taxi-in to the parking area from the runway required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 186 nm, required 47 minutes, and consumed 2 560 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 727-200 established a final approach to runway 01 at MMVR General Heriberto Jara International Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 14.0° at 4 nm and 578 ft agl while the local temperature was 24 °C, wind 6 kt from 090°, providing a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the height was good and the aircraft passed the threshold at a speed slightly above target, recorded at 137 kt.
Touchdown occurred 408 m down the runway; the speed at touchdown was a little fast at 132 kt, the vertical rate was good at minus 199 fpm, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 1,252 m, representing 52 % of the 2,394 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
To refine the already strong performance, adjust the approach and flare speeds to meet the target more closely and apply minor corrections to keep the touchdown point within a tighter centreline tolerance.
