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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,635 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,635 m of the 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 574 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed from runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, applying a take-off roll of 1,400 m which represented 56 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 156 kt under calm conditions with a temperature of 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, a 1 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind component.
During the climb the flight passed overhead Donderen in the province of Drenthe, ascending from 996 ft asl to 1,461 ft asl - a gain of 465 ft - in 1 minute while covering 3 nm.
Level cruise commenced approximately 1 mile north of Norg, also in Drenthe, and persisted for 2 minutes during which the aircraft travelled 8 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south-west on a heading of 46.0° at 4 nm and 1,681 ft agl, with the same ambient temperature of 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Touchdown occurred on runway 05 after a landing roll of 1,549 m (62 % of the runway). The threshold height of 60 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed was 124 kt. The aircraft contacted the surface 152 m beyond the touchdown zone at 99 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 162 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.7 m from the centreline.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, completing the landing phase without further incident.
In total the flight covered 18 nm, took 7 minutes, and used -50 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the south-west on a heading of 46.0° at 4 nm and 1,681 ft agl, with a temperature of 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.
At the threshold the aircraft was at 60 ft agl, which was above target, and the threshold speed was 124 kt.
Touchdown occurred 152 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 99 kt and a touchdown rate described as good at minus 162 fpm; the wheel track was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,549 m, representing 62 % of the 2,493 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
To improve future performance, aim to achieve the target threshold height and place the touchdown within the touchdown zone to reduce the overshoot distance.
