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 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 595 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB), the Bonanza G36 began its takeoff roll on runway 36, covering a distance of 445 meters, which accounted for 36% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 83 knots, reaching a height of 923 feet above sea level. As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from Reichelsheim, reaching an altitude of 1,371 feet above sea level, a gain of 448 feet in just one minute, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase commenced overhead Florstadt, lasting for 10 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), descending from an altitude of 533 feet above ground level to touch down on the runway. The threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target, indicating a stable approach. The touchdown point was 131 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 70 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute.
Upon landing, the aircraft covered a total distance of 829 meters, accounting for 21% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-center. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 3 degrees. The aircraft used 10 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a total distance of 34 nautical miles and lasted for 14 minutes.
The Bonanza G36 touched down on runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, with a final approach from the south west, heading 71.0° at 2 nm and 533 ft agl. The approach quality was satisfactory, but the threshold height at 86 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly high approach. The threshold speed of 91 kt was also well above the target, suggesting a slightly fast approach.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown speed of 70 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -149 fpm. However, the touchdown point was 131 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a light wind of 6 kt at 3°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 829 m was 21% of the runway length, which was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.0 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation. Overall, the landing performance of the Bonanza G36 was satisfactory, with a score of 79.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
