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: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 787-10 taxied from its parking position to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm during the movement.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,484 m, representing 40 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 155 kt. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind from 249° at 12 kt; the cross-wind component was 0 kt and the head-wind component was 12 kt.
The climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 973 ft asl to 1,469 ft asl, an increase of 496 ft achieved in less than 1 minute while covering less than 1 nm.
Level cruise was established about 2 miles southwest of the airport and persisted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 18 nm.
Descent commenced roughly 1 mile north of Papakura, descending from 1,323 ft asl to 469 ft asl, a loss of 855 ft over 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 23L was flown from the east on a heading of 251.0°, intercepting the glide path at 2 nm and 446 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23L, which is 3,671 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 147 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 337 m down the runway with a speed of 151 kt and a hard touchdown rate of minus 586 fpm. The touchdown point was laterally displaced by 17.9 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 17 °C with a wind from 251° at 18 kt; cross-wind remained 0 kt and head-wind 18 kt.
The total landing roll measured 1,167 m, equivalent to 32 % of the runway, and the rollout was laterally misaligned by 17.2 m from the centreline.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 29 nm, taking 10, and consumed 1,671 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 787-10 conducted the final approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport from the east on a heading of 251.0 deg at 2 nm and 446 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the glideslope, with ambient temperature 17 deg C and wind 18 kt at 251 deg (crosswind 0 kt, headwind 18 kt).
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 147 kt. The aircraft achieved a good touchdown distance of 337 m and a good touchdown speed of 151 kt.
Touchdown was very hard with a rate of minus 586 fpm and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.9 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,167 m, representing 32 % of the 3,671 m runway, and rollout alignment remained misaligned by 17.2 m from the centreline.
Focus on achieving a stabilized approach to keep the aircraft on the glideslope and improve centreline alignment, and refine flare technique to reduce the hard touchdown rate while maintaining the current touchdown speed and distance.
