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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 223 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the TBM 930 began with a 10-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EGLC London City Airport. The departure was from runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 1,990 ft, representing 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 110 knots, with a temperature of 46°F and a wind of 11 knots at 100°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Abbey Wood in Greater London, climbing from 1,040 ft above sea level to 22,113 ft, covering 27 nm in 11 minutes. The descent began over Flamstead in Hertfordshire, descending from 22,112 ft to 9,095 ft, covering 45 nm in 9 minutes. The level cruise segment started over Birdingbury in Warwickshire and lasted 2 minutes, covering 9 nm.
After another descent from 9,072 ft to 7,080 ft over EGKI Little Chase Farm Airstrip in Kenilworth, the aircraft entered another level cruise segment lasting 8 minutes and covering 16 nm starting 1 mile north of Beoley in Worcestershire. The final descent was initiated over Willenhall in Walsall, descending from 6,741 ft to 1,862 ft, covering 10 nm in 5 minutes.
The final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport was from the northwest at 4 nm and 1,538 ft above ground level. The landing was on runway 15, which has a length of 7,602 ft. The threshold speed was slightly below target at 72 knots, with a touchdown distance of 726 ft and a speed of 63 knots. The touchdown rate was -190 ft/min, and the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centerline. The total landing distance was 3,899 ft, representing 51% of the runway length, with a very good runway rollout alignment.
After landing, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 121 nm, taking 46 minutes and using 360 lbs of fuel.
