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 1,822 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 04 at KHCR Heber City Mun-McDonald in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04, the OV-10 Bronco used 1,930 m of runway (92 % of the available length) and lifted off at 91 kt; ambient temperature was 19 °C.
The first en-route climb began overhead KHCR, climbing from 5,577 ft asl to 7,809 ft asl, a gain of 2,232 ft in 3 minutes while covering 9 nm.
A level cruise segment followed overhead Timber Lakes, lasting 3 minutes and extending 12 nm.
The second climb segment started 6 mi east of Samak, rising from 7,846 ft asl to 9,578 ft asl, an increase of 1,732 ft in 2 minutes over 6 nm.
Subsequent cruise began 11 mi east of Samak, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
A third climb commenced 17 mi east of Samak, climbing from 9,138 ft asl to 11,618 ft asl, a gain of 2,481 ft in 3 minutes while traversing 12 nm.
The next cruise segment started 28 mi north-west of Altamont, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Descent began 27 mi south of Mountain View, descending from 11,893 ft asl to 11,375 ft asl, a loss of 518 ft in 2 minutes across 6 nm.
A level cruise followed 26 mi north-west of Neola, lasting 5 minutes and covering 19 nm.
The second descent started 12 mi south-west of Manila, dropping from 10,656 ft asl to 6,233 ft asl, a decrease of 4,423 ft in 5 minutes while covering 19 nm.
A brief cruise then occurred 7 mi south-east of 40U Manila, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
A further climb began 4 mi west of 33U Dutch John, climbing from 5,988 ft asl to 6,793 ft asl, an increase of 805 ft in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
The final cruise segment started overhead 33U Dutch John, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm.
The aircraft entered final approach to runway 29 at 33U Dutch John from the south-east, on a heading of 321.0° at 3 nm and 722 ft agl.
Landing on runway 29 was achieved with a threshold speed of 82 kt; touchdown occurred 54 m beyond the touchdown zone at 70 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 225 fpm and a lateral deviation of 9.2 m from centreline. Ambient temperature was 24 °C, wind 2 kt from 134°, with no crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
The total landing roll measured 1,039 m, representing 57 % of the runway length, and rollout alignment was offset by 8.2 m from centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 117 nm, took 33 minutes, and consumed 163 kg of fuel.
The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco entered the final approach to runway 29 at 33U Dutch John from the south-east on a heading of 321.0° at 3 nm and 722 ft agl; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1 000 ft gate with flaps not set and the aircraft off the centreline.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 82 kt.
Touchdown occurred 54 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 70 kt that was good; the touchdown rate was fair at minus 225 fpm and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 1 039 m, representing 57 % of the 1 822 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, deviating 8.2 m from the centreline.
Future approaches should ensure flap deployment and centreline tracking before the 1 000 ft gate to achieve a stabilized profile, and touchdown and rollout alignment should be refined to keep lateral deviation within a few metres of the centreline.
