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 and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 466 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 07R at Brussels Airport (EBBR) in eight minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07R, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,417 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and lifted off at 171 kt. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 110°, including a 1-kt crosswind and a 1-kt headwind.
The initial climb began overhead Kortenberg, climbing from minus 894 ft asl to 25,008 ft asl, an increase of 25,902 ft achieved in ten minutes while covering 56 nm.
Level cruise commenced one mile east of Knokke and continued for ten minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 60 nm.
Descent commenced 20 nm south-east of Walton-on-the-Naze, descending from 25,027 ft asl to 5,003 ft asl, a loss of 20,024 ft in thirteen minutes and covering 67 nm.
A subsequent climb started two miles south-east of Enfield Town, gaining 1,067 ft from 4,728 ft asl to 5,795 ft asl in two minutes while traversing 6 nm.
The next descent began one mile south of Barnet, dropping from 5,731 ft asl to minus 60 ft asl, a decrease of 5,791 ft over nine minutes and covering 35 nm.
For the final approach to runway 09L at London Heathrow (EGLL), the aircraft approached from the west on a heading of 87.0°, positioned three nautical miles out and at minus 195 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09L was executed with a threshold speed of 163 kt, though the touchdown occurred 52 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 152 kt. The aircraft touched down with a heavy rate of minus 614 fpm and was laterally displaced 17.7 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 23 °C, wind 5 kt from 162°, with a 5-kt crosswind and a 1-kt headwind. The total landing distance measured 1,060 m, equivalent to 29 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout continued with the aircraft remaining misaligned by 16.9 m from the centreline as it decelerated after touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in six minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 232 nm, lasted 59 minutes, and consumed 2,189 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 09L at EGLL was flown from the west on a heading of 87.0° at 3 nm and -195 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable: sink rate too high and off the glideslope.
At threshold the height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was too high at 163 kt.
Touchdown occurred 52 m beyond the touchdown zone with a fast speed of 152 kt and a heavy rate of -614 fpm. The touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 17.7 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 1,060 m, representing 29 % of the 3,602 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned, drifting 16.9 m from the centreline.
With a score of 80.3 % the landing was solid but refinement is needed in alignment and vertical control. Reducing the sink rate to achieve a lighter touchdown will help keep the aircraft on centreline and minimise the runway-rollout drift.
