Hold the approach angle
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 2,863 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The ATR-72 taxied from the parking area to runway 19R at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport, covering 3 nm in 9 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 19R, the aircraft used 725 m of runway, representing 25 % of the available length, and lifted off at 119 kt. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 059°, a 9 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced overhead KIAD, ascending from 1,303 ft asl to 3,109 ft asl, a gain of 1,805 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.
Cruise began 2 mi west of VA16 Centreville Airport and continued for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 42 nm at level flight.
Descent was initiated 2 mi north-east of Leesburg, descending from 3,060 ft asl to 1,411 ft asl, a loss of 1,650 ft in 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 19R at KIAD was flown from the north on a heading of 175.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,110 ft agl.
Landing occurred on runway 19R, whose total length is 2,863 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 116 kt, above the target. Touchdown was made 50 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 108 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 132 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.9 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 24 °C, wind 6 kt from 061°, a 5 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind.
The aircraft rolled out over a distance of 1,060 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was very good.
In total, the flight covered 62 nm, lasted 26 minutes, and consumed 231 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 16R at KSLC was conducted from the north on a heading of 175.0° at 4 nm and 1,338 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare segment the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 140 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 348 m and touchdown speed at 139 kt was a little fast.
Touchdown occurred with a firm rate of minus 346 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 m from the centreline.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 1,447 m, representing 40 % of the 3,655 m runway. Local weather was temperature 29 °C, wind 23 kt at 199°, crosswind 10 kt and headwind 21 kt.
The 94.9 % score reflects an overall strong performance; refining flare timing to reduce touchdown speed and tightening alignment during touchdown and rollout will address the primary deviations.
