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 9,296 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,352 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
KLAX Los Angeles International Airport's runway 25R served as the departure point for the Boeing 737-MAX8. Taxiing to the runway took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll, utilizing 47% of the 9,000-foot runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 152 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 70°F, with a gentle wind of 2 knots at 60°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, commencing 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California. The climb from 1,106 feet above sea level to 36,723 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,617 feet, was achieved in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 108 minutes and covering 897 nautical miles. The cruise phase concluded 7 miles west of Oasis, California, after which the aircraft began its enroute descent phase, initiated 4 miles southeast of Eastland, Texas. The descent from 37,001 feet above sea level to 3,446 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,555 feet, was completed in 19 minutes, covering 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 138.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 141 knots, touchdown distance of 1,356 feet, and touchdown speed of 132 knots. Although the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal at -296 feet per minute, the runway touchdown position was only 12 feet off-centerline. The total landing distance of 3,743 feet, accounting for 40% of the 9,306-foot runway, was satisfactory. Following a 7-minute taxi to the parking area, covering 2 nautical miles, the aircraft concluded its journey, having traveled a total distance of 1,171 nautical miles and utilizing 12,786 pounds of fuel over a flight duration of 167 minutes.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 13R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport with a score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north west, heading 138.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 141 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 1,356 feet was within the expected range. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also good, but the touchdown rate of -296 feet per minute was slightly below the optimal rate. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 88°F and a 7-knot wind at 180°, were not particularly challenging.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and well-aligned, with perfect alignment to the centreline. The total landing distance of 3,743 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was well-executed, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. The score of 99.1% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
