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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,448 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway at EGPB Sumburgh, taking only 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 27 saw the aircraft taking off after a distance of 875 m, which was 67% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 kn. The local weather at the time showed a temperature of 10°C with a wind speed of 10 kn coming from 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kn and a headwind of 10 kn.
The enroute climb began 1 mile west of EGPB Sumburgh, climbing from 1,111 ft asl to 40,111 ft asl over a period of 38 minutes, covering 297 nm in the process. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 157 minutes and covered 1,012 nm. The coordinates for this part of the flight were Latitude: 55.4404567 and Longitude: 2.7742008.
The enroute descent commenced 91 miles northwest of Ustica (Sicilia, Italy), descending from 39,754 ft asl to 1,817 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nm. The landing took place on runway 13R at LICT Birgi Mil, which had a length of 2,448 m. The height at the threshold was 19 ft agl, with a speed of 140 kn at the threshold. The touchdown occurred 474 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 130 kn and a VSI of -130 ft/m. The local weather at the landing location indicated a temperature of 27°C, with a wind speed of 8 kn from 150°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kn and a headwind of 8 kn. The total landing distance was 1,305 m, which was 53% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking only 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm. The total flight distance for this journey was 1,422 nm, which took a total of 223 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed 8,366 kg of fuel during the flight.
