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 699 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 699 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 164 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Tecnam P2008, registration JC, taxied to runway 26R at LSZL Locarno Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft used 370 m of runway, representing 46 % of the available length, and lifted off at 58 kt. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind from 240° at 5 kt, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
During the climb the aircraft passed overhead Magadino in Ticino, Switzerland, ascending from 756 ft ASL to 2,176 ft ASL. The altitude gain of 1,421 ft was achieved in 2 minutes while covering a ground distance of 3 nm.
Level cruise began again over Magadino and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled another 3 nm at a constant altitude.
The final approach to runway 26C at LSZL was flown from the east on a heading of 257.0° at 1 nm distance and 828 ft AGL. Weather at the time of approach was 26 °C with a wind from 240° at 6 kt, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind component.
Landing was executed on runway 26C, whose length is 699 m. The threshold speed was recorded slightly below the target at 49 kt. Touchdown occurred 161 m down the runway at a speed of 35 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 109 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 17.8 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 262 m, equivalent to 37 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained off centre by 17.4 m.
In total the flight covered 8 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
The Tecnam P2008 JC entered the final approach to runway 26C at LSZL Locarno Airport from the east on a heading of 257.0° at 1 NM and 828 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being off the glideslope and off the centreline.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and a threshold speed slightly below target at 49 kt.
Touchdown occurred 161 m down the runway at a speed of 35 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 109 fpm; the touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 17.8 m from the centreline.
Rollout alignment remained misaligned, the aircraft tracking 17.4 m off the centreline for the remainder of the roll.
The 80.7 % score indicates solid overall performance; focus on maintaining centreline alignment during the approach and at touchdown to reduce the lateral deviation observed.
