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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,690 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,690 m of the 3,564 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 488 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 departed Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport on runway 07, using a take-off distance of 2,193 m (69 % of the runway) and achieving liftoff at 163 kt. Local conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 269°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 4 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced one mile east of the departure airport, rising from 1,098 ft asl to 37,656 ft asl - an altitude gain of 36,558 ft - over 22 minutes while covering 151 nm.
The first cruise segment began 10 nm north-east of El Progreso, lasting 62 minutes and encompassing 500 nm of level flight.
A second climb started 28 nm south of Batabano, increasing altitude from 38,001 ft asl to 41,713 ft asl (3,712 ft) in 2 minutes and traversing 14 nm.
Descent began 14 nm south of Batabano, dropping from 43,753 ft asl to 34,001 ft asl - a loss of 9,752 ft - in 5 minutes while covering 36 nm.
The next cruise phase originated 3 nm south-east of Jaruco, lasting 7 minutes and covering 56 nm.
A further descent was initiated 38 nm north of Varadero, descending from 34,002 ft asl to 17,216 ft asl (16,786 ft) in 14 minutes and spanning 88 nm.
The third cruise segment started 8 nm north-west of the Coba Island resort, lasting 42 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.
Descent resumed 8 nm north-west of the same resort, falling from 17,192 ft asl to 1,289 ft asl - a reduction of 15,904 ft - in 12 minutes and covering 53 nm.
Final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport was conducted from the west, on a heading of 87.0° at 4 nm and 1,269 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09, which is 3,555 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 63 m beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 390 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.5 m from the centreline. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, no crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,601 m (45 % of the runway).
Rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 9.9 m, and the aircraft decelerated along the remaining runway after touchdown.
Taxi-in to the parking area required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 905 nm, required 129 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 4,909 kg of fuel.
