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 477 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 477 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 34 m short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied from its parking position to runway 04 at AYRM Maramuni Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm during the taxi-out.
During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft used 372 m of runway, representing 78 % of the available length, and lifted off at 70 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced immediately after liftoff, rising from 5,241 ft asl to 6,922 ft asl - an altitude gain of 1,680 ft - in 1 minute while traversing 2 nm.
The level cruise phase began 2 mi north-east of AYRM, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm, followed by a second cruise segment that started 5 mi north-east of the airport, lasted 1 minute and added another 3 nm to the flight path.
For the final approach the aircraft was established on runway 22 from the north-east, aligned on a heading of 223.0° at 2 nm and 164 ft agl, under the same temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 2 kt from 272° with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred on runway 22 at a speed of 51 kt, with a touchdown distance of 63 m and a touchdown rate of minus 47 fpm; the aircraft crossed the threshold at 57 kt, and the touchdown point was offset 4.1 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 262 m, equivalent to 55 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout remained well aligned, and the aircraft continued to decelerate safely after landing.
In total the flight covered 12 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 20 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 22 at AYRM Maramuni Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 223.0° at 2 NM and 164 ft AGL; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the glideslope.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 57 kt.
Touchdown occurred 63 m down the runway at a speed of 51 kt, which was judged good, and the vertical rate was perfect at minus 47 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance was 262 m, representing 55 % of the 477 m runway length.
Rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft completed the landing under calm weather with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 272°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
To improve the already high score, achieve a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate and refine lateral control to keep the touchdown point within the centreline envelope.
