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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,785 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,785 m of the 3,236 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 315 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at Munich Airport (EDDM). The takeoff distance was 1,370 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 18 °C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The enroute climb began overhead Hallbergmoos in Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft ascended from 2,482 feet above sea level to 23,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,515 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of Untrasried, Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 23,997 feet above sea level to 2,921 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,076 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) was made from the southeast, heading 334.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,508 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 at Zürich Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 315 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -514 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and no headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,703 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 162 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 1,922 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 34, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 334.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,508 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 315 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 150 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -514 feet per minute (fpm). A touchdown speed closer to the target would have likely resulted in a softer touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,703 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate.
