See Arrival Approach
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate 3,583 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 7.8° against the runway's 3° and speed 150 kt FAST on the reference speed of 133 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 197 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.39 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet taxied from its parking position to runway 01 at SKRG Jose María Córdova International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 01, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 2,555 m, representing 73 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 224 kt. Ambient conditions were 23 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
The initial climb commenced overhead SKRG, climbing from 7,116 ft asl to 41,912 ft asl, an altitude gain of 34,797 ft achieved in 5 minutes while covering 48 nm.
A level cruise segment began 1 nm south-west of Risaralda, lasting 2 minutes and extending the flight by 9 nm.
The first en-route descent started 2 nm south of Supia, descending from 42,492 ft asl to 37,893 ft asl, a loss of 4,599 ft in 3 minutes over 18 nm.
A second descent segment began 2 nm west of Belalcazar, with the aircraft dropping from 37,990 ft asl to 31,885 ft asl, a decrease of 6,105 ft completed in 3 minutes while covering 39 nm.
A subsequent climb was initiated 2 nm south-east of SK54 San Marino, raising the altitude from 31,492 ft asl to 33,803 ft asl, an increase of 2,311 ft in 2 minutes across 23 nm.
The next descent began 2 nm south of San Pedro, descending from 33,997 ft asl to 4,749 ft asl, a loss of 29,248 ft accomplished in 5 minutes and spanning 35 nm.
On final approach to La Esmeralda Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,838 ft agl to 53 ft agl in 33 seconds, and the stabilisation gates were scored.
During the touchdown approach, the aircraft reduced altitude from 44 ft agl to ground level in 1 second, a vertical change of 44 ft.
Touchdown occurred at La Esmeralda Airport with a speed of 190 kt, a heavy touchdown rate of minus 1,241 fpm, and a touchdown distance of 197 m. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
The landing rollout was recorded at an altitude of 3,143 ft asl, with the aircraft traveling 753 m along the runway after touchdown.
In total, the flight covered 178 nm, lasted 22 minutes, and consumed 565 kg of fuel.
