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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,831 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 231 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 06 at 4N1 Greenwood Lake, where the aircraft DA42-VI successfully took off after covering 43% of the 454m long runway. The liftoff speed was a respectable 81 kt, and the climb performance was further assisted by a 2 kt headwind.
Following a brief initial climb, the aircraft entered into a steady enroute climb from 1,697 ft asl to 5,182 ft asl, which was achieved in just 5 minutes with an impressive gain of 3,485 ft, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. Thereafter, the enroute level cruise took off from a nearby location, 1 mile south east of 6NJ7 Greenwood Lake Seaplane Base, West Milford, covering an impressive 18 nm in just 7 minutes.
As the flight progressed, the enroute descent began 1 mile west of Garfield, involving a sharp drop of 4,004 ft in just 2 minutes, with a coverage of 4 nm from 5,093 ft asl to 1,089 ft asl. The final approach to runway 06 at KTEB Teterboro Airport was carefully planned and executed from the south west direction, heading at 48.0 ° and 2 nm into the air, at an altitude of 1,055 ft agl.
Upon touching down on the runway with a good threshold height and speed, the touchdown distance was equally impressive at 230 m. The touchdown speed was also satisfactory at 56 kt, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -80 fpm. However, there was a notable issue with the runway touchdown position being significantly misaligned by 15.4 m from the centreline in the local weather conditions of 20 °C temperature and 6 kt wind at 43 °.
In the final stages of the flight, the taxiing to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered an equally small distance of less than 1 nm. Despite the landing performance, the overall total flight distance was 27 nm, with a corresponding flight time of 21 minutes, and the aircraft used 11 kg of fuel throughout the journey.
The aircraft, a DA42-VI, successfully landed at KTEB Teterboro Airport, achieving a score of 85.0%. The final approach to runway 06 was from the southwest, at a heading of 48.0°, 2 nautical miles from the airport, and at an altitude of 1,055 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining good threshold height and a suitable threshold speed of 67 knots. The touchdown was good, occurring at an airspeed of 56 knots. The aircraft's touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with a downward velocity of -80 feet per minute (fpm).
However, there were some notable issues during the landing. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned, being 15.4 meters away from the centerline. This could have presented a challenge for the pilot, requiring adjustments to the landing technique. Additionally, during runway rollout, the aircraft's alignment was once again off-center, by 17.0 meters.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 20°C and winds of 6 knots at 43°. This resulted in a relatively low crosswind component and a headwind of 6 knots, which was beneficial for maintaining control during the landing. The overall landing distance was a short 329 meters, which accounts for only 18% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's skill and technique.
Despite some minor issues with alignment during both touchdown and rollout, the landing was overall a success, with the DA42-VI touching down in a controlled manner and requiring minimal correction to maintain a stable rollout.
