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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,618 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,618 m of the 1,757 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 400 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 02R at Santos Dumont Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,074 meters, which was 82% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departure, the enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Rio de Janeiro, where the aircraft climbed from 1,006 feet above sea level to 33,054 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,048 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 27 miles southeast of Ipanema Lake Rio de Janeiro and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 17 miles south of Paraty, where it descended from 33,202 feet above sea level to 3,821 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,381 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35L at Congonhas Airport was made from the southeast, heading 328.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,173 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 402 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 148 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -319 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 10°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,546 meters, which was 88% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 240 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 1,491 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an Embraer E195, successfully landed at SBSP Congonhas Airport on runway 35L. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 328.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,173 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was too high at 157 knots, which may have been a contributing factor to the subsequent landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 402 meters, but the touchdown speed of 148 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm at -319 feet per minute, indicating a relatively steep descent. However, the most notable issue during the landing was the misaligned runway touchdown position, which deviated from the centreline by 9.9 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a light wind of 7 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots. These conditions were relatively benign, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the wind.
The total landing distance of 1,546 meters was 88% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable value. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14.6 meters, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the threshold speed and touchdown speed.
