Crashes that occur during approach or touchdown are the world’s leading category of aviation mishaps and deaths, according to data compiled by Chicago-based manufacturer Boeing Co. (BA) The biggest risk factor for such accidents is failing to approach a runway at the proper speed, altitude and heading, known as an unstabilized approach.
....for the guys from the "Iberia" thread further down in "Rumours and News" yapping on about stabilized / unstabilized approaches not being an issue.... Like I said, don't take my word for it, just read the numerous reports available on the subject.
