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 1,545 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,545 m of the 2,266 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 29 at SBPA Salgado Filho International Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 29, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 142 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,580 m, which represented 70 % of the runway. Local weather was 20 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 260 °, giving a 5 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile west of SBPA, with the airplane climbing from 958 ft asl to 33,005 ft asl, an increase of 32,047 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 116 nm.
Level cruise began 11 miles south of SBKR Estrela Airport and continued for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 83 nm.
Descent was initiated 14 miles north east of SJIO Guararapes Airport, descending from 32,233 ft asl to 4,289 ft asl, a decrease of 27,944 ft over 17 minutes and a distance of 106 nm.
The final approach to runway 15 at SBCT Afonso Pena Airport was flown from the north west, on a heading of 135.0 °, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,274 ft agl.
The aircraft touched down on runway 15, which is 2,266 m long, with a threshold speed of 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 417 m down the runway at a speed of 129 kt and a vertical rate of minus 221 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 4.3 m. Local conditions were 23 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 250 °, yielding a 6 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind. Total landing distance measured 1,471 m, representing 65 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 313 nm, required 57 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 2,278 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo made its final approach to runway 15 at SBCT Afonso Pena Airport from the north-west, tracking a heading of 135.0° at 4 nm and 1,274 ft agl; local weather was 23 °C with wind 7 kt from 250°, a 6 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 136 kt.
Touchdown occurred 417 m down the runway at a good speed of 129 kt; the vertical speed was fair at minus 221 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,471 m, representing 65 % of the 2,266 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off centreline, with a runway-rollout alignment error of 8.0 m from the centreline.
To refine future performance, focus on reducing the sink rate to achieve a stable approach at the 1,000 ft gate and on tightening centreline alignment at touchdown and through rollout; these adjustments will help convert the already high 96.7 % score into an even more precise landing.
