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 1,560 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 358 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Baron G58, then departed from runway 07L at LFPN Toussus-le-Noble Airport. The takeoff distance was 419 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Les Loges-en-Josas in the Ile-de-France region of France. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,513 feet above sea level to 1,725 feet, an increase of 213 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead the town of Jouy-en-Josas and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The next enroute climb phase started overhead the town of Le Plessis-Robinson, where the aircraft ascended from 1,771 feet to 9,464 feet, an increase of 7,694 feet in 8 minutes, while covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed overhead the town of La Ville-du-Bois and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 148 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 2 miles southeast of Sedlescombe in East Sussex, England, where the aircraft descended from 9,732 feet to 1,755 feet, a decrease of 7,977 feet in 8 minutes, while covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at EGKB London Biggin Hill Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 206.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which had a length of 1,560 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 93 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 344 meters, but the touchdown speed of 82 knots was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at 28 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 179 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 484 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 203 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 77 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Baron G58 successfully landed at EGKB London Biggin Hill Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 13°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots blowing from 179°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 82 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 344 meters was well within the acceptable range.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the perfect runway touchdown alignment, which indicates that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The touchdown rate of 28 feet per minute (fpm) was also spot on, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's descent. The total landing distance of 484 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length, was also satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the pilot executed a smooth rollout, maintaining perfect alignment with the runway. The overall performance of the Beechcraft Baron G58 during this landing was impressive, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and control. The score of 97.1% reflects the high standard of flying achieved during this exercise.
