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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,829 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,397 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at DGAA Kotoka International Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 162 kt, using a takeoff distance of 4,728 ft (46 % of the runway). Local weather at the time was 83 °F with a wind of 7 kt from 200 °, providing a 7 kt headwind and no crosswind.
The climb commenced overhead DGAA, climbing from 575 ft asl to 40,001 ft asl, an altitude gain of 39,426 ft achieved in 43 minutes while covering 319 nm.
Level cruise began at latitude 2.0205478 and longitude -3.9535463, persisting for 371 minutes and encompassing 2,845 nm.
Descent started 8 miles east of Cunha (Sao Paulo, Brazil), descending from 39,997 ft asl to 3,203 ft asl, a loss of 36,794 ft in 21 minutes and covering 108 nm.
The final approach to runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was executed from the west on a heading of 75.0 °, at 2 nm and 747 ft agl. The aircraft further descended from 1,159 ft agl to 83 ft agl in 83 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 10L, which is 11,829 ft long, was performed with a threshold speed of 135 kt. Touchdown occurred 1,397 ft down the runway at 133 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 253 fpm and perfect alignment. Ambient conditions were 57 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 250 °, no crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind. The total landing distance measured 3,940 ft, representing 33 % of the runway.
Runway rollout maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 3,282 nm, took 446 minutes, and consumed 90,948 lbs of fuel.
The Airbus A350-900 entered the final approach to runway 10L at SBGR from the west on a heading of 75.0° at 2 nm and 747 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, off the glideslope, and the aircraft descended from 1,159 ft agl to 83 ft agl in 83 seconds, scoring on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 135 kt. Ambient conditions were temperature 57 °F, wind 2 kt from 250°, with 0 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
Touchdown occurred 1,397 ft down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt that was a little fast and a touchdown rate rated fair at minus 253 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 3,940 ft, representing 33 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
To improve the score, focus on achieving a stabilized approach within the glideslope at the 1,000 ft gate and reduce touchdown speed toward the target VREF to obtain a more optimal vertical rate.
