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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,515 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 320 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 787-9 taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at LIRF, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 3 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 25 at LIRF, accelerating through a takeoff distance of 1,326 m, representing 42 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 160 kt. Ambient conditions were 31 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 179°, including a 3 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb began overhead LIRF, with the airplane ascending from 955 ft asl to 31,986 ft asl, a gain of 31,031 ft achieved in 10 minutes while covering 65 nm.
Level cruise was established 10 miles south of Isola del Giglio, persisting for 15 minutes and encompassing 112 nm of flight.
Descent commenced 19 miles south of Riomaggiore, with altitude decreasing from 31,993 ft asl to 2,073 ft asl, a loss of 29,920 ft over 20 minutes and a distance of 115 nm.
The final approach to runway 35L at LIMC was flown from the south, on a heading of 349.0° at 4 nm and 1,334 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 35L, whose length is 3,515 m, with a threshold speed recorded at 134 kt, slightly below target. The aircraft landed at 130 kt, the touchdown distance measured 322 m, and the vertical speed was minus 283 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 3.8 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 22 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 31°, including a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 1,141 m, representing 32 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was assessed as very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the Boeing 787-9 taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 302 nm, required 59 minutes from departure to arrival, and consumed 4,933 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 787-9 approached runway 35L at LIMC from the south on a heading of 349.0° at 4 NM and 1,334 ft agl; the final approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the aircraft was off the glideslope, with temperature 22 °C, wind 4 kt from 31°, a 3-kt crosswind component and a 3-kt headwind component.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 134 kt.
Touchdown occurred 322 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt considered good, a vertical rate of -283 fpm rated fair, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline.
The rollout used 1,141 m of runway, representing 32 % of the available 3,515 m, and runway alignment during rollout was very good.
Future flights should focus on achieving a stabilized approach that remains on the glideslope and on refining lateral control to keep touchdown within a tighter centreline tolerance.
