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 3,896 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 699 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the Airbus A350-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 14 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 04R, utilizing 1,441 meters, or 49% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 22°C, with a gentle wind of 9 knots at 119 degrees, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 84 nautical miles in 14 minutes, ascending from 953 feet above sea level to 29,001 feet. The climb phase was followed by a 19-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 153 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced over Tarquinia, Italy, with the aircraft losing 16,050 feet in altitude over a distance of 53 nautical miles in 8 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period, covering 8 nautical miles in 2 minutes, before resuming its descent. The final approach to runway 34L at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was executed from the south, with the aircraft touching down 286 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 knots.
The landing distance of 1,428 meters, or 37% of the runway, was slightly above the optimal threshold speed. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance of 343 nautical miles was completed in 67 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 6,785 kilograms of fuel. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft touched down on runway 34L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport with a threshold speed of 131 kt, meeting the required standard. The touchdown point was located 286 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 129 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a touchdown rate of -221 fpm, which was considered fair.
The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 1,472 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway. The aircraft maintained a heading of 342.0°, aligning perfectly with the runway centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and wind at 10 kt from 20°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind component of 6 kt and headwind of 8 kt were well-managed by the crew.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,428 m, representing 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the crew's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. The final score of 92.1% reflected the crew's proficiency in executing a safe and efficient landing.
