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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and centreline 1.8° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, glideslope 7.0° against the runway's 3°, centreline 5.4° off, against a 1° limit and speed 53 kt FAST on the reference speed of 60 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 109 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.43 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Departure roll was executed on runway 08 at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The takeoff run measured 437 m, representing 18 % of the runway length, and liftoff was achieved at 92 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 5 °C, wind 2 kt from 0°, with a 2 kt crosswind component and no headwind.
Climb commenced 2 miles east of ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda, with the aircraft ascending from 1,116 ft asl to 1,468 ft asl, a gain of 352 ft in less than 1 minute while covering less than 1 nm.
Level cruise began at the same point east of ESSA and continued for 8 minutes, during which 16 nm were flown.
During the final approach to runway Lunda Airfield, the aircraft descended from 1,290 ft agl to 53 ft agl in 128 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
In the immediate approach to touchdown at Lunda Airfield, a further descent from 45 ft agl to 0 ft agl was completed, a loss of 45 ft in 2 seconds.
Touchdown occurred at Lunda Airfield with a speed of 80 kt. The touchdown rate was minus 1,022 fpm and the touchdown distance was 109 m. Local weather reported a temperature of 6 °C, wind 1 kt from 344°, a 1 kt crosswind component and no headwind.
The landing rollout was recorded at an altitude of 24 ft asl and covered a distance of 275 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, traveling less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 22 nm, took 13, and consumed 20 kg of fuel.
The De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver approached Lunda Airfield with a score of 73.0 % and was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the flaps were not set and the aircraft was off the centreline; the final approach descended from 1,290 ft agl to 53 ft agl in 128 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft descended from 45 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 45 ft in 2 seconds.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 80 kt, which was noted as excessively fast, with a very heavy vertical rate of minus 1,022 fpm; the touchdown point was good at 109 m from the threshold. Local weather was 6 °C with wind 1 kt from 344°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
The rollout continued from an altitude of 24 ft asl and covered a distance of 275 m.
Future flights should ensure the flaps are selected and the centreline is maintained well before the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stabilised approach, and the approach speed should be reduced to the appropriate VREF to avoid an excessively fast and heavy touchdown.
