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 596 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 596 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 91 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 208B taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in a period of 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm before reaching the hold-short line.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 19 at LIPB Bolzano Airport, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 74 kt after a ground run of 159 m, which represented 11 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 32 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 160°, including a 3 kt cross-component and a 6 kt headwind component.
Climb began over Laives, with the airplane ascending from 1 378 ft asl to 10 790 ft asl, a gain of 9 411 ft achieved in 11 minutes while traversing 20 nm.
The first cruise segment started 2 mi east of Fierozzo and was maintained for 22 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 56 nm at level flight.
Descent commenced over Tavernole, descending from 10 914 ft asl to 4 206 ft asl, a loss of 6 708 ft in 10 minutes while covering 25 nm.
A brief cruise phase followed the initial descent, beginning over Calcio and lasting 2 minutes, during which 4 nm were flown.
The second descent started 1 mi west of Torre Pallavicina, with altitude decreasing from 4 204 ft asl to 2 376 ft asl, a reduction of 1 827 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 8 nm.
A further cruise segment originated 1 mi south-west of Genivolta, lasting 4 minutes and encompassing 10 nm of level flight.
For the final approach the aircraft aligned with runway 11 at LILR Cremona-Migliaro Airfield from the west, tracking a heading of 115.0° at 1 nm and 1 445 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 11, whose total length is 596 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 75 kt, while touchdown occurred at 74 kt with a distance of 89 m from the threshold. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 244 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the runway centreline. Local weather at the time was 30 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 332°, a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind component. The total landing roll measured 356 m, representing 60 % of the runway.
Runway rollout continued with perfect alignment, and the aircraft came to a stop without deviation from the centreline.
In total, the flight covered 131 nm, required 62 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 161 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 208B approached runway 11 at LILR Cremona-Migliaro Airfield from the west on a heading of 115.0° at 1 nm and 1,445 ft agl, with temperature 30 °C, wind 1 kt from 332°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind. 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 phase the threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 75 kt.
Touchdown occurred 89 m down the runway, a good distance, while the touchdown speed was too fast at 74 kt and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 244 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance was 356 m, 60 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment on the runway was perfect.
Focus on establishing a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate to remain on glideslope and centreline. Reduce speed to the appropriate reference speed to avoid the excessive threshold and touchdown speeds observed.
