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 612 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 612 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 188 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, a movement that lasted 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Takeoff was executed on runway 30 at AYFE Feramin Airport. The aircraft departed after a ground roll of 350 m, representing 57 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 67 kt. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind from 209° at 5 kt; the cross-wind component was 5 kt and there was no head-wind.
Climb began directly overhead AYFE Feramin Airport, rising from 4,796 ft asl to 6,716 ft asl, an altitude gain of 1,920 ft achieved in 1 minutes while traversing 2 nm.
Cruise commenced 2 miles north-west of the airport and continued for 4 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 10 nm at level flight.
The final approach to runway 12 was flown from the north-west, on a heading of 114.0° at 3 nm and 1,280 ft agl.
Landing on runway 12 occurred with a runway length of 612 m. The threshold speed was 52 kt, well below the target, and touchdown was achieved at 49 kt after a distance of 185 m. The aircraft settled at a rate of minus 54 fpm, with the touchdown point offset 5.5 m from the centreline. Local weather was 18 °C with a wind from 205° at 4 kt, cross-wind 4 kt and no head-wind. Total landing distance measured 438 m, equivalent to 72 % of the runway.
Rollout was described as very good, with the aircraft remaining well aligned on the runway after touchdown.
In total the flight covered 15 nm, took 9 minutes, and consumed 22 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 12 at AYFE Feramin Airport was flown from the north-west on a heading of 114.0° at 3 nm and 1,280 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable: sink rate too high, off the glideslope and off the centreline. Local conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 205°, giving a 4 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
At threshold the height was described as good. The threshold speed was 52 kt, noted as well below target with a reminder to take care not to stall. No other flare data were provided.
Touchdown occurred 185 m down the runway at a speed of 49 kt, both described as good. The vertical rate at touchdown was excellent at minus 54 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 438 m, representing 72 % of the 612 m runway.
Rollout alignment was reported as very good, with the aircraft remaining well aligned to the centreline for the remainder of the ground run.
Maintain a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate, keeping sink rate, glideslope and centreline tracking within limits. Ensure the threshold speed is close to the target value to preserve a safe margin above stall while still achieving the desired aim point.
