Hold the approach angle
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 2,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 601 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from PAJN Juneau International Airport, the ATR 72 taxied from the parking area to runway 26 in 11 minutes, covering 2 nm. The takeoff roll measured 1,034 m, representing 40 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 123 kt. Local conditions were 16 °C with a 6 kt wind from 299°, providing a 2 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
The climb phase began 1 mile west of 5Z3 Juneau Seaplane Base, rising from 1,097 ft to 12,937 ft in 10 minutes over 31 nm. A brief level cruise of 5 minutes covered 23 nm, starting 3 miles southeast of PAOH Hoonah Airport. Descent commenced 9 miles southwest of TKE Tenakee Seaplane Base, dropping 9,653 ft from 12,723 ft to 3,070 ft in 7 minutes across 28 nm. Another level cruise of 5 minutes spanned 18 nm, 11 miles north of A29 Sitka Seaplane Base. The final descent, 5 miles southwest of PASI Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, reduced altitude from 2,261 ft to 965 ft in 2 minutes over 7 nm.
Approach to runway 29 at PASI was executed from the southeast, heading 312.0°, with a final approach point at 1 nm and 911 ft AGL. Landing occurred on a 1,976 m runway, with a touchdown 88 m beyond the touchdown zone at 107 kt, a touchdown rate of -230 fpm, and a runway alignment described as perfect. The touchdown speed was slightly above target, and the total landing distance was 888 m, 45 % of the runway. After touchdown, the aircraft taxied back to the parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 111 nm, lasted 39 minutes, and consumed 360 kg of fuel.
