Hold the approach angle
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 1,233 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,233 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 246 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cirrus Vision SF50 taxied from the parking area to runway 26 at CYTZ, a movement that lasted less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 26, using 712 m of runway (58 % of the available length), and lifted off at 92 kt. Ambient conditions were temperature 16 °C, wind 4 kt at 9°, with a 3 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind.
Climb began approximately 1 mile south of Niagara, Ontario, with the airplane ascending from 1,219 ft asl to 1,803 ft asl, a gain of 584 ft achieved in 1 minutes while traversing 2 nm.
Level cruise was established about 2 miles south of Niagara and persisted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 5 nm.
The final approach to runway 26 was executed from the east, on a heading of 255.0° at 1 nm distance and 440 ft above ground level.
Touchdown occurred on runway 26, whose total length is 1,233 m; the threshold speed was 84 kt, touchdown distance measured 244 m, touchdown speed was 74 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 26 fpm. The alignment at touchdown was very good.
The total landing roll measured 471 m, representing 38 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.
After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area, a maneuver that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 9 nm, required 9 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 16 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26 at CYTZ was flown from the east on a heading of 255.0° at 1 nm and 440 ft agl. Local weather was 16 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 090°, a 3-kt crosswind component and a 2-kt tailwind component.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 84 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 244 m down the runway at a speed of 74 kt, both described as good, with a touchdown rate of -26 fpm rated perfect and runway touchdown alignment very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 471 m, representing 38 % of the 1 233 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 96.2 % the landing was strong overall; continued focus on preserving the precise touchdown rate and alignment will further tighten an already excellent performance.
