Be on speed by the gate
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,437 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 531 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm before lining up for departure.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 17R at KSMF Sacramento International Airport, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 146 kt. The takeoff run measured 1,579 m, representing 60 % of the available runway, while ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 160°, including a 1 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Climb began 1 mile south of KSMF, with the airplane ascending from 1,015 ft asl to 40,667 ft asl, a gain of 39,653 ft achieved in 46 minutes while covering 366 nm.
The first cruise segment started 22 miles northwest of UT28 Sun Valley Estates Airport, Lund, and persisted for 142 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 1,184 nm at level flight.
Descent commenced 5 miles southeast of Gates, Tennessee, with the flight descending from 40,999 ft asl to 3,248 ft asl, a loss of 37,751 ft over 18 minutes and a distance of 136 nm.
A brief second cruise phase began 3 miles north of Nashville, Tennessee, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nm before the final approach.
During the final approach to runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,271 ft agl to 7 ft agl in 98 seconds, meeting the stabilization criteria.
Touchdown occurred on runway 20L with a threshold speed of 128 kt; the aircraft contacted the runway 112 m beyond the touchdown zone at 120 kt and a vertical speed of minus 91 fpm, with alignment described as very good. Local weather was 24 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 160°, including a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. The total landing distance was 1,001 m, equivalent to 41 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft decelerated safely after landing.
The Boeing 737-700 taxied back to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,706 nm, required 216 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 8,816 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 approached runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF, and the descent from 1,271 ft agl to 7 ft agl was completed in 98 seconds, with the approach scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 128 kt.
Touchdown occurred 112 m beyond the touchdown zone with a good touchdown speed of 120 kt, an excellent touchdown rate of minus 91 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,001 m, representing 41 % of the 2,437 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect; local weather was 24 C with wind 2 kt at 160 deg, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 1 kt.
To improve the overall score, reduce approach speed to be within VREF by the 1,000 ft gate and aim to touch down inside the designated touchdown zone.
