Hold the glidepath
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 rest of the report
The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at DGAA Kotoka International Airport in 9 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll the aircraft used 4,987 ft of runway, representing 49 % of the available length, and lifted off at 165 kt. Ambient conditions were 85 °F with a wind of 6 kt from 220°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead DGAA, rising from 530 ft asl to 39,993 ft asl, an increase of 39,463 ft achieved in 42 minutes while covering 308 nm.
The first cruise segment began at latitude 2.1481785, longitude -3.822515 and continued for 370 minutes, traversing 2,851 nm.
Descent started 6 miles north of Paraty, Brazil, descending from 40,000 ft asl to 8,001 ft asl, a decrease of 32,000 ft in 13 minutes and covering 80 nm.
A brief cruise followed 6 miles west of Guararema, Brazil, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 13 nm.
The next descent began 1 mile north-west of Itaquaquecetuba, Brazil, dropping from 8,045 ft asl to 3,212 ft asl, a loss of 4,833 ft over 6 minutes and 20 nm.
Final approach to runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was executed from the west on a heading of 74.0° at 2 nm and 760 ft agl, with a subsequent descent from 1,204 ft agl to 74 ft agl in 86 seconds; the approach was recorded as scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was made on runway 10L, whose length is 11,829 ft. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 kt, touchdown occurred at 1,035 ft down the runway with a speed of 133 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 298 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect. Local weather at the time was 59 °F with a wind of 1 kt from 210°, and no cross-wind or head-wind component.
The aircraft rolled out a total landing distance of 3,830 ft, representing 32 % of the runway, and maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.
Taxi-in to the parking area required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 3,282 nm, lasted 447 minutes, and consumed 89,773 lbs of fuel.
The Airbus A350-900 entered final approach to runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport from the west on a heading of 74.0° at 2 nm and 760 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being off the glideslope.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft descended from 1,204 ft agl to 74 ft agl in 86 seconds, achieving a good threshold height.
Touchdown occurred on runway 10L, whose length is 11,829 ft. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 1,035 ft, while touchdown speed of 133 kt was a little fast. Touchdown rate was fair at minus 298 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 3,830 ft, representing 32 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To improve the score, focus on establishing a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate and maintaining the target speed throughout the descent, which will help bring both threshold and touchdown speeds within the desired range.
