Be on speed by the gate
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,621 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 424 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 03 at PHLI Lihue Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 03, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 145 kt and left the ground after traveling 932 m, representing 47 % of the runway. Ambient conditions were 29 °C with a wind from 060° at 8 kt, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead PHLI, climbing from 991 ft asl to 40 986 ft asl, a gain of 39 995 ft in 43 minutes while covering 350 nm.
The first cruise segment began at latitude 25.4199338, longitude -154.1434783 and continued for 200 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1 673 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 78 miles southwest of Anchor Bay, California, descending from 41 002 ft asl to 4 602 ft asl, a loss of 36 400 ft in 16 minutes and covering 115 nm.
A subsequent cruise segment originated 1 mile south of Berkeley, California, lasting 10 minutes and spanning 42 nm.
The next descent began 1 mile south of Davis, California, dropping from 3 314 ft asl to 1 811 ft asl, a decrease of 1 503 ft in 2 minutes over 7 nm.
A further cruise segment started 2 miles northeast of 69CL Medlock Field Davis, lasting 3 minutes and covering 15 nm.
Final approach to runway 17R at KSMF Sacramento International Airport reduced altitude from 1 308 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 87 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 17R, which is 2 621 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 124 kt, touchdown distance of 422 m, touchdown speed of 117 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 229 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good. Weather at the time was 19 °C with a wind from 149° at 3 kt, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total landing roll measured 834 m, representing 32 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 2 208 nm in 280 minutes and consumed 11 181 kg
The Boeing 737-700 conducted the final approach to runway 17R at KSMF Sacramento International Airport and was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF. Descent proceeded from 1,308 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 87 seconds and the aircraft was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 124 kt.
Touchdown occurred 422 m down the runway at a speed of 117 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 229 fpm that was rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good; the total landing distance was 834 m, representing 32 % of the 2,621 m runway length.
Rollout alignment was perfect throughout the remaining distance.
To improve the already high score, focus on reducing the approach speed to within VREF by the 1,000 ft gate and refining flare technique to achieve a gentler touchdown rate.
