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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,194 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 113 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 34 at O57 Bryant and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 190 m, representing 16 % of the available runway, with liftoff occurring at 47 kt. Ambient conditions were 2 °C with a wind from 182° at 2 kt, no cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind.
Climb began shortly after liftoff while the aircraft passed overhead O57 Bryant Bridgeport. Altitude increased from 7,439 ft asl to 7,785 ft asl, a gain of 346 ft attained in less than one minute and covering less than one nautical mile.
Level cruise was established over the same waypoint, lasting 13 minutes and encompassing a distance of 20 nm.
During the final approach to runway 15 at O24 Lee Vining, the descent was executed from 628 ft agl to 40 ft agl in 79 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria. Weather at the destination was 2 °C with a wind from 182° at 2 kt, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind component.
Landing was completed on runway 15, whose length is 1,194 m. The threshold height was satisfactory and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 41 kt. Touchdown occurred 111 m down the runway at 36 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 120 fpm and excellent alignment. The total landing roll measured 233 m, equivalent to 20 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was recorded as perfect.
In total, the flight covered 22 nm, required 21 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 15 at O24 Lee Vining was recorded with a descent from 628 ft agl to 40 ft agl over 79 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 2 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 182°, including a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 41 kt. The flare progressed smoothly to the touchdown point.
Touchdown occurred 111 m down the runway at a speed of 36 kt, noted as a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 120 fpm and very good runway alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 233 m, representing 20 % of the 1,194 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine the already strong performance, aim to achieve the target touchdown speed to reduce the slight excess over the desired value, and ensure the threshold speed matches the target as closely as possible.
