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 3,177 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,177 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 548 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Longitude taxied from the parking area to runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, a movement that lasted 20 minutes and covered 3 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 31C, accelerating through a takeoff distance of 2,636 ft, which is 45 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 125 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 63 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Climb began 1 nm east of Summit, Illinois, with the airplane climbing from 1,632 ft asl to 7,022 ft asl, an increase of 5,390 ft in 4 minutes while covering 13 nm.
Level cruise started 1 nm south of Lincolnwood, Illinois, and continued for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 70 nm.
Descent was initiated overhead Muskego, Wisconsin, descending from 7,002 ft asl to 2,754 ft asl, a loss of 4,247 ft in 5 minutes and spanning 20 nm.
A subsequent level cruise commenced 1 nm south of KMWC Lawrence J Timmerman Airport, Milwaukee, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nm.
The final approach to runway 22R at KMWC was flown from the northeast, on a heading of 188.0° at 4 nm and 690 ft agl.
A go-around was executed on runway 22R at an altitude of 673 ft agl.
A second go-around followed on the same runway, this time at 1,536 ft agl.
Landing was completed on runway 22R, whose length is 3,160 ft. The threshold speed was recorded at 128 kt. Touchdown occurred 545 ft down the runway at a speed of 125 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 444 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Local weather at the time was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The total landing distance measured 1,483 ft, representing 47 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was offset by 27 ft from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 151 nm, required 48 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1,567 lbs of fuel.
The Cessna Longitude approached runway 22R at KMWC Lawrence J Timmerman Airport from the north east on a final approach heading 188.0° at 4 nm and 690 ft AGL. Local weather was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, providing a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind component.
At threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 128 kt.
Touchdown occurred 545 ft from the runway threshold, a distance described as good, while the touchdown speed was too fast at 125 kt. The aircraft experienced a hard touchdown rate of minus 444 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 1,483 ft, representing 47 % of the 3,160 ft runway.
During rollout the aircraft was slightly misaligned, deviating 27 ft from the centreline.
Reduce the final-approach and touchdown speeds to bring them within the target range, and moderate the descent rate to avoid a hard touchdown. These adjustments will tighten alignment on rollout and further improve an already strong 91.7 % score.
