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 and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 481 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London City Airport, the Embraer E190 began its journey with a taxiing period of six minutes, covering a distance of two nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 27, utilizing 80% of the available length, with a takeoff distance of 1,068 meters. The liftoff speed was achieved at 152 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the warm air with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of London, it reached an altitude of 2,733 feet above sea level, having ascended 1,696 feet in under a minute. The enroute climb continued, with the aircraft reaching a cruising altitude of 27,026 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,021 feet in 11 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, covering a distance of 344 nautical miles in 52 minutes. The descent phase began as the aircraft approached its destination, with a total of four descent phases, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. The final approach to runway 14 at Zürich Airport was initiated, with the aircraft touching down 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 120 knots and a rate of -461 feet per minute.
The landing distance of 1,321 meters was 42% of the available runway length, with the runway touchdown position significantly misaligned by 23.2 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking three minutes to cover a distance of less than one nautical mile. The total flight distance was 673 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 139 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,655 kilograms.
The Embraer E190 aircraft touched down on runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport, a 3,138-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the north west. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed of 124 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a potential for a hard touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 120 kt was fast, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -461 fpm. The touchdown point was located 61 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout issues. The runway touchdown position was also significantly misaligned by 23.2 meters from the centreline, which could have affected the aircraft's stability during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 1,321 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 23.9 meters from the centreline, indicating a need for improvement in the aircraft's control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 83.9%, highlighting areas for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
