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 3,552 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 11 at YPDN Darwin International Airport / RAAF Darwin in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 11, the Boeing 737-700 used 2,193 m of runway, representing 65 % of the available length, and lifted off at 143 kt. Ambient conditions were 37 °C with an 8 kt wind from 109°, providing a headwind component of 8 kt and no crosswind.
Climb commenced overhead Winnellie, rising from 1,048 ft asl to 39,650 ft asl, an altitude gain of 38,601 ft achieved in 43 minutes while covering 306 nm.
Cruise began at latitude -7.6532497 and longitude 129.3948247, persisting for 178 minutes and traversing 1,360 nm.
Descent was initiated 13 mi north-east of Naujan (Mimaropa, Philippines), descending from 39,622 ft asl to 1,319 ft asl, a loss of 38,303 ft in 12 minutes and spanning 72 nm.
On final approach to runway 06 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,318 ft agl to 77 ft agl in 96 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06 was executed with a threshold speed of 129 kt; touchdown occurred 356 m down the runway at 122 kt with a vertical speed of minus 267 fpm. The runway length is 3,552 m, and the total landing distance measured 885 m, representing 25 % of the runway. Weather at the time was 28 °C with a 5 kt wind from 100°, providing a 4 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind. Runway touchdown and rollout alignment were assessed as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,745 nm, lasted 240 minutes, and consumed 9,783 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 conducted the final approach to runway 06 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, descending from 1,318 ft agl to 77 ft agl in 96 seconds. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being more than 20 kt above VREF, and the flight was scored on the stabilisation gates. Ambient conditions were 28 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 100°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 129 kt.
Touchdown occurred 356 m down the runway at a good speed of 122 kt. The vertical touchdown rate was fair at minus 267 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance measured 885 m, representing 25 % of the 3,552 m runway length.
Rollout alignment on the runway was very good.
To improve the score, reduce the approach speed to within VREF by the 1,000 ft gate and manage the flare to achieve a lower descent rate at touchdown. These adjustments will tighten the approach stability and produce a smoother touchdown.
