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 2,212 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 109 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation Longitude taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at HKJK Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft used 3,505 m of runway, representing 85 % of the available length, and lifted off at 135 kt; ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 159 °, a cross-wind component of 9 kt and a head-wind component of 3 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of HKJK, ascending from 6,359 ft asl to 36,997 ft asl, an increase of 30,638 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 73 nm.
Cruise began 7 miles west of HKSI Solio Ranch Airport and continued for 252 minutes, during which 1,293 nm were flown; a subsequent cruise segment started 10 miles south of Mecca and lasted 2 minutes, adding another 9 nm.
Descent was initiated 27 miles south-east of OEJF King Faisal Naval Base Jeddah, descending from 35,714 ft asl to 3,211 ft asl, a loss of 32,503 ft in 7 minutes while traversing 36 nm.
The final approach to runway 01 at OE49 Mecca East Airport was conducted from the south, on a heading of 6.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,545 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01 occurred on a runway 2,212 m long; the threshold speed was recorded at 122 kt, touchdown distance measured 109 m, touchdown speed was 119 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was -102 fpm, with alignment described as very good. Local weather at the time was 43 °C with a wind of 17 kt from 298 °, a cross-wind of 17 kt and a head-wind of 5 kt. Total landing distance was 569 m, representing 26 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as very good, completing the landing phase without deviation.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,418 nm, required 288 minutes, and consumed 118 kg of fuel.
The Cessna Citation Longitude approached runway 01 at OE49 Mecca East Airport from the south on a final approach heading 6.0° at 4 nm and 1,545 ft AGL. Local weather was 43 °C with wind 17 kt from 298°, providing a 5 kt headwind component and a 17 kt crosswind component.
Threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 122 kt, which was well above the target speed.
Touchdown occurred 109 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 119 kt that was a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was smooth at minus 102 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 569 m, representing 26 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the final-approach speed to meet the target value to avoid the slight excess observed at threshold and touchdown, and fine-tune flare timing to bring touchdown speed closer to the optimum without compromising alignment.
