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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,498 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 211 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the Embraer E190 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it reached the threshold of runway 22L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,233-meter runway, which it covered in 42% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots, taking advantage of the 23-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nice, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var. The climb phase was characterized by a rapid ascent from 979 feet above sea level to 37,972 feet, an increase of 36,993 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, which lasted for 21 minutes and covered 305 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent. This descent phase saw the aircraft descend from 37,981 feet to 2,968 feet in 26 minutes, covering 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a second level cruise phase, this time lasting 7 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles, before commencing its final approach to London City Airport.
The final approach to runway 09 at EGLC was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 93.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,845 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 120 knots and a touchdown distance of 121 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. Although the touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly fast, the runway touchdown position was only 6.3 meters off-centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 614 nautical miles, which was completed in 78 minutes, using 3,179 kilograms of fuel.
The Embraer E190 touched down on runway 09 at EGLC London City Airport, a challenging environment due to the airport's short runway length of 1,334 meters. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 120 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a speed of 119 kt, slightly above the ideal touchdown speed, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -675 fpm.
The touchdown distance of 121 meters was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centreline. However, the rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the critical phase of flight. The total landing distance of 892 meters, accounting for 67% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the aircraft's size and the challenging environment.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 180 °, contributed to a relatively calm environment. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was negligible. Overall, the Embraer E190's landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 93.7%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the touchdown speed and rate, the pilot demonstrated good control and adherence to standard operating procedures.
