Hold the approach angle
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: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,733 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,733 m of the 3,100 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 601 m past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A32NX, then departed from runway 23 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ). The takeoff distance was 1,397 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots at 219°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,568 feet above sea level to 37,091 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,523 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 163 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles north of Shiloh, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 172 minutes, covering a distance of 1,344 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 16 miles northeast of Rio San Juan, Dominican Republic, and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,248 feet above sea level to 3,072 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,176 feet. The descent covered a distance of 108 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 5 miles southeast of Otra Banda, Dominican Republic, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Punta Cana International Airport (MDPC) was from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,762 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 14 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 08, which had a length of 3,100 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 35°.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 224 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -145 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 1,692 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,640 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 245 minutes. The aircraft used 7,994 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A32NX successfully landed at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 74.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,762 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 3,100 meters and its orientation.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 128 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was 224 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still considered a good landing. The pilot maintained a smooth touchdown rate of -145 feet per minute, ensuring a safe and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 35°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,692 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway's length. This was a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered good, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout. The score of 94.1% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
