Keep the wings level on final
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 rest of the report
The Diamond DA42 Twin Star taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 82 kt and became airborne after a take-off distance of 413 m, representing 25 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 32 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 100°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 15 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead Quart (Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, Italy), with the DA42 climbing from 2,407 ft asl to 18,108 ft asl, an altitude gain of 15,701 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 36 nm.
Level cruise began over Romano Canavese (Piemonte, Italy) and was maintained for 24 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 72 nm.
Descent was initiated 3 miles north of SKYW Elisuperficie Franco Garda Entreves (Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, Italy), descending from 18,110 ft asl to 4,614 ft asl, a loss of 13,497 ft in 8 minutes and covering 23 nm.
The final approach to runway 15 at LFHM Megève Altiport was flown from the north on a heading of 166.0° at 4 nm and -170 ft agl.
A go-around was executed on runway 15 at LFHM Megève Altiport at 0 ft agl before a subsequent approach was attempted.
Landing on runway 15 at LFHM Megève Altiport, whose length is 543 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 71 kt; touchdown occurred at 232 m down the runway at 61 kt and a vertical speed of 108 fpm, with runway alignment described as perfect. Local weather reported a temperature of 22 °C, wind 3 kt from 125°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 513 m, representing 95 % of the runway.
Rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, completing the landing roll within the measured 513 m distance.
In total, the flight covered 136 nm, required 52 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 38 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 15 at LFHM Megève Altiport was flown from the north on a heading of 166.0° at 4 nm and -170 ft AGL. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the gear was not down, the sink rate was too high and the aircraft was off the glideslope.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and achieved a good threshold speed of 71 kt.
Touchdown occurred 232 m down the runway at a good speed of 61 kt, with a perfect touchdown rate of 108 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment. The total landing distance was 513 m, representing 95 % of the 543 m runway length.
Rollout was completed with perfect runway rollout alignment.
To convert the high overall score of 98.3 % into an even more consistent performance, ensure the landing gear is lowered and the aircraft is stabilized on the glideslope before reaching the 1,000 ft gate. Maintaining these parameters will eliminate the unstable-approach indications observed.
