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 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 and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,574 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,574 m of the 3,516 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Embraer E175 taxied from the parking area to runway 33 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33, the aircraft used 1,616 m of runway, representing 76 % of the available length, and lifted off at 141 kt. Ambient conditions were 24 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 270°, providing a 4 kt headwind and a 10 kt crosswind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Woody Creek, Colorado, with the airplane accelerating from 8,549 ft asl to 29,922 ft asl, an altitude gain of 21,372 ft achieved in 11 minutes while covering 59 nm.
Level cruise began 5 miles north-east of 9CO9 Phylcon Ranch Airport, Mesa, Colorado, and persisted for 96 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 580 nm.
Descent was initiated 3 miles north-west of KTUO Tuolumne City Airport, Tuolumne City, California, descending from 30,006 ft asl to 1,812 ft asl, a loss of 28,194 ft in 20 minutes and traversing 95 nm.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 290.0° at 4 nm and 1,774 ft agl.
Landing on runway 28R was executed with a threshold speed of 131 kt, touchdown occurring at 129 kt and 364 m down the runway. The touchdown rate was firm at minus 358 fpm, alignment was perfect, and the total landing distance recorded was 1,485 m, representing 42 % of the runway length.
Rollout continued smoothly, with runway touchdown alignment maintained perfectly and the aircraft coming to a stop within the calculated landing distance.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in a further 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 742 nm, took 136 minutes, and consumed 2,613 kg of fuel.
The Embraer E175 entered the final approach to runway 28R at KSFO from the east, flying a heading of 290.0° at 4 nm and 1,774 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, with a sink rate too high and the aircraft off the centreline.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and the threshold speed was good at 131 kt.
Touchdown occurred 364 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt described as a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 358 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,485 m, representing 42 % of the 3,516 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the sink rate and keeping the aircraft on centreline during the final-approach segment to achieve a stable approach, and on moderating touchdown speed to match the target VREF more closely, which will further improve the already high score of 97.5 %.
