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 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 284 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Beechcraft Bonanza taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the take-off roll, covering 455 m which represented 37 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 84 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 16 kt from 228°, including a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.
Climb began over Florstadt, Hessen, Germany, with the aircraft ascending from 1,391 ft asl to 3,622 ft asl - a gain of 2,231 ft - in 2 minutes while traversing 5 nm.
The first cruise segment started 1 mile north of Hammersbach, Hessen, Germany, lasting 3 minutes and covering 8 nm.
Descent was initiated over Hanau am Main, Hessen, Germany, with altitude decreasing from 3,407 ft asl to 1,856 ft asl - a loss of 1,551 ft - in 3 minutes and a distance of 7 nm.
A second cruise phase commenced 1 mile south of Offenbach, Hessen, Germany, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
Final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport involved a descent from 1,359 ft agl to 9 ft agl in 145 seconds, and the aircraft was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25L, which is 3,986 m long, featured a threshold speed of 86 kt, a touchdown distance of 282 m, a touchdown speed of 76 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 249 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 4.9 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 21 °C with a wind of 17 kt from 239°, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 16 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 504 m, representing 13 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good. The flight covered a total of 29 nm, took 14 minutes, and consumed 9 kg of fuel.
The Beechcraft Bonanza approached runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport with an unstable profile at the 1,000 ft gate, as flaps were not set and the aircraft was more than 20 kt above VREF. The descent proceeded from 1,359 ft agl to 9 ft agl in 145 seconds while the ambient temperature was 21 °C, wind was 17 kt from 239°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 16 kt head-wind.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was well above target at 86 kt.
Touchdown occurred 282 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a touchdown speed of 76 kt described as a little fast. The vertical rate was fair at minus 249 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.9 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 504 m, representing 13 % of the 3,986 m runway.
Rollout alignment was very good, maintaining centreline tracking through the remaining runway length.
The 87.0 % score reflects solid overall performance; focus should be placed on configuring flaps and achieving VREF speed by the 1,000 ft gate, and on tightening touchdown alignment to reduce the 4.9 m offset.
