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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,369 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 755 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 21L at SVMC La Chinita International Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21L the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 963 m, representing 38 % of the runway, and lifted off at 102 kt. Ambient conditions were 32 °C with wind 0 kt at 90 °, and no cross- or head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead SVMC La Chinita International Airport, rising from 533 ft asl to 7 498 ft asl, an altitude gain of 6 965 ft achieved in 8 minutes while covering 31 nm.
The first cruise segment began 10 miles north-east of Cabimas and continued for 30 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 126 nm at level flight.
Descent started 4 miles north-east of Barquisimeto, descending from 7 510 ft asl to 5 819 ft asl, a loss of 1 692 ft completed in 2 minutes over a distance of 7 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 8 miles north-west of Yaritagua, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The subsequent descent began 5 miles north of Yaritagua, dropping from 5 810 ft asl to 3 386 ft asl, a decrease of 2 424 ft accomplished in 4 minutes across 12 nm.
Final approach to runway 27 at SVBM Barquisimeto International Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft aligned on a heading of 265.0 ° at 4 nm and 1 335 ft agl.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27, whose length is 2 369 m, with a threshold speed of 89 kt and Good threshold height. Touchdown occurred 319 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 66 kt, a vertical rate of minus 117 fpm, and a lateral offset of 4.3 m from the centreline. Local weather was 31 °C with wind 0 kt from 360 °.
Total landing distance measured 1 116 m, equivalent to 47 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a distance of 188 nm, required 54 of flight time, and consumed 164 kg of fuel.
The TBM 930 recorded a score of 97.2 % on the final approach to runway 27 at SVBM Barquisimeto International Airport, arriving from the east on a heading of 265.0° at 4 nm and 1,335 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the glideslope.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 89 kt during the flare segment.
Touchdown occurred 319 m beyond the touchdown zone with a good speed of 66 kt and a smooth rate of minus 117 fpm. The aircraft landed slightly misaligned, 4.3 m off the centreline.
Total landing distance was 1,116 m, representing 47 % of the 2,369 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
Improve glideslope capture to achieve a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate and refine lateral control to reduce the 4.3 m centreline offset at touchdown.
