Hold the approach angle
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,347 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,347 ft of the 11,996 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 966 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the departure runway at KSFO, a movement that required 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Takeoff was executed on runway 28L at KSFO; the aircraft used 1,870 ft of runway, representing 17 % of the available length, and became airborne at a liftoff speed of 101 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 60 °F with a wind of 8 kt from 260°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced directly overhead KSFO, with the airplane ascending from 894 ft asl to 31,009 ft asl, a gain of 30,115 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 81 nm.
Level cruise began over Buena Vista, California, and was maintained for 82 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 410 nm.
Descent was initiated 9 mi east of the 56KN DOCILF Knolls fix in Utah, descending from 30,669 ft asl to 5,591 ft asl, a loss of 25,078 ft over 20 minutes and a distance of 76 nm.
The final approach to runway 16L at KSLC was flown from the north, on a heading of 174.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm from the threshold and 1,358 ft agl.
Landing on runway 16L at KSLC occurred on a runway 11,996 ft long; the threshold height of 61 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed of 79 kt was slightly below target. Touchdown was recorded at 962 ft down the runway with a speed of 71 kt, a vertical rate of minus 168 fpm, and perfect alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 68 °F, wind 9 kt from 160°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 5,015 ft, representing 42 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, allowing the aircraft to decelerate safely to taxi speed.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in segment that lasted 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 577 nm, required 143 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 896 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 16L at KSLC was flown from the north on a heading of 174.0° at 4 nm and 1,358 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft crossed the threshold at a height of 61 ft agl, which was above the target, and the threshold speed was recorded at 79 kt, a little below the target.
Touchdown occurred 962 ft down the runway, a good distance, with a touchdown speed of 71 kt, a little fast, and a touchdown rate of minus 168 fpm, which was good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,015 ft, representing 42 % of the 11,996-ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was 68 °F with wind 9 kt from 160°, including a 2-kt crosswind and a 9-kt headwind.
Maintain the overall high standard reflected by the 96.5 % score, but fine-tune speed control to bring the threshold speed up to target and reduce touchdown speed slightly to eliminate the small excess. This will tighten the margin while preserving the excellent alignment and distance performance.
