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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,196 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,196 ft of the 7,477 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 941 ft 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 08R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 7,107 feet, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 87 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from Atlanta, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south east of Hapeville, Georgia. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,965 feet above sea level to 35,164 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,198 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of Decatur, Tennessee, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering 325 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles north of Wabash, Indiana, descending from 35,291 feet above sea level to 1,943 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,348 feet, in 27 minutes and covering 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09L at Chicago O'Hare International Airport was made from the west, heading 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09L, which had a length of 7,477 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 950 feet, but the touchdown speed at 141 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -324 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at Chicago O'Hare International Airport were a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 4,968 feet, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 565 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 9,543 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 09L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was precise, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed, registering at 144 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 950 feet was well within acceptable limits, indicating a good landing performance. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the firm touchdown rate of -324 feet per minute (fpm) suggests that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, allowing for a precise and controlled landing.
The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a steady course throughout the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also flawless, demonstrating the pilot's ability to smoothly transition from landing to taxiing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 66% of the runway length, covering a total distance of 4,968 feet.
