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 1,776 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,776 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 31 ft short of the threshold. The 2.02 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Britten-Norman BN2 Islander taxied from the parking area to runway 24 in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 24 at VNLK Lukla Airport; takeoff distance was 1,801 ft, representing 101 % of the runway. Liftoff speed was 56 kt. Ambient temperature was 56 °F with wind from 119° at 3 kt, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
En-route descent began overhead VNLK Lukla Airport, descending from 8,865 ft asl to 8,724 ft asl-a loss of 141 ft in 1 minute while covering 1 nm.
Level cruise was established 1 mile southwest of VNLK Lukla Airport and lasted 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at VNLK Lukla Airport was flown from the southwest on a heading of 60.0° at 1 nm and -400 ft agl. Local weather reported temperature 56 °F, wind from 112° at 2 kt, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred before the threshold at a speed of 40 kt and a descent rate of 471 fpm. Total landing distance was 333 ft, 19 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 26 ft from the centreline.
The flight covered a total distance of 4 nm, lasted 3 minutes, and used -1 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 06 at VNLK Lukla Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 60.0° at 1 NM distance and -400 ft AGL, with ambient temperature 56 °F, wind 2 kt from 112°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold.
Touchdown speed was 40 kt and was described as good; the vertical speed was 471 fpm and was noted as perfect. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and the total landing distance measured 333 ft, representing 19 % of the runway length.
During rollout the aircraft was slightly off the centreline, deviating 26 ft to the side.
To improve future performance, aim to touch down at the standard aim point approximately 300 m (1 000 ft) beyond the threshold and maintain a centred track through the rollout to keep alignment within a few feet of the centreline.
