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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,922 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,849 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Longitude taxied from the parking area to runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, a movement that lasted 22 minutes and covered 5 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 2,516 ft, representing 25 % of the runway, and lifted off at 120 kt. Local weather conditions were temperature 74 °F, wind 8 kt from 059°, a 7 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt tailwind.
The initial climb began overhead KMSP, climbing from 1,899 ft asl to 21,535 ft asl, an increase of 19,636 ft achieved in 8 minutes while covering 48 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 2 nm northeast of West Concord, lasting 15 minutes and extending 117 nm.
A second climb started 2 nm southeast of Fayette, raising the aircraft from 21,639 ft asl to 24,330 ft asl, a gain of 2,690 ft in 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The next cruise phase began overhead Strawberry Point, lasting 5 minutes and spanning 46 nm.
Descent number one originated 3 nm northwest of KOQW Maquoketa Municipal Airport, descending from 24,699 ft asl to 21,694 ft asl, a loss of 3,005 ft in 3 minutes while traveling 29 nm.
A further cruise segment started 1 nm northwest of Princeton, lasting 12 minutes and covering 92 nm.
Descent number two began 2 nm east of KOGL Oglesby Airport, dropping from 21,329 ft asl to 2,425 ft asl, a decrease of 18,903 ft in 13 minutes and covering 66 nm.
The final approach to runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was executed from the southwest, on a heading of 47.0°, at 2 nm and 1,742 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 04R at KMDW when the aircraft reached 5,358 ft agl, aborting the approach and climbing away.
Subsequent landing on runway 04R, whose length is 5,922 ft, recorded a threshold speed of 134 kt, a touchdown point 474 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 122 kt. The aircraft touched down with a rate of minus 182 fpm and perfect runway-alignment. Local weather at the time was temperature 70 °F, wind 6 kt from 080°, a 4 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 2,666 ft, representing 45 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Runway rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining the perfect alignment noted at touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 478 nm, required 89 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3,739 lb of fuel.
The Cessna Longitude approached runway 04R at KMDW from the southwest on a final approach heading 47.0° while 2 nm out and 1,742 ft above ground level, with temperature 70 °F, wind 6 kt from 080°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 134 kt.
Touchdown occurred 474 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone; the aircraft was fast at 122 kt, yet the descent rate was good at minus 182 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft used a total landing distance of 2,666 ft, representing 45 % of the 5,922-ft runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
Reduce the threshold and touchdown speeds to bring them within the target range, which will shorten the landing roll and keep the touchdown point within the touchdown zone; the 94.4 % score indicates the overall performance was strong, requiring only these refinements.
