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 2,369 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The TBM 930 taxied from the parking area to runway 21L at SVMC La Chinita International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21L, the aircraft used 912 m of runway, representing 36 % of the available length, and lifted off at 97 kt. Local weather at the time was 32 °C with wind calm at 0 kt from 90°, resulting in zero cross-wind and zero head-wind components.
Climb commenced overhead SVMC La Chinita International Airport, rising from 500 ft asl to 7 500 ft asl - an increase of 7 000 ft - in 8 minutes while covering 29 nm.
Cruise began 8 miles north-east of SVON Oro Negro Airport Cabimas and continued for 30 minutes, during which 126 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 8 miles north-west of Yaritagua, descending from 7 494 ft asl to 3 482 ft asl - a loss of 4 013 ft - in 5 minutes and covering 19 nm.
The final approach to runway 27 at SVBM Barquisimeto International Airport was executed from the east, on a heading of 262.0°, at 4 nm and 1 424 ft agl.
Landing on runway 27, whose length is 2 369 m, featured a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 87 kt. Touchdown occurred 432 m down the runway at a speed of 77 kt, noted as a little fast, with a perfect touchdown rate of minus 38 fpm and very good runway alignment. The total landing distance was 859 m, representing 36 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 32 °C with wind calm at 0 kt from 360°, giving zero cross-wind and zero head-wind.
Runway rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining the perfect alignment noted at touchdown.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 181 nm, required 51 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 154 kg of fuel.
The TBM 930 entered the final approach to runway 27 at SVBM Barquisimeto International Airport from the east on a heading of 262.0° at 4 nm and 1,424 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the flaps were not set. Local weather was 32 °C with wind 0 kt from 360°, giving zero cross-wind and zero head-wind.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and achieved a threshold speed of 87 kt, which was judged good. The flare proceeded without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 432 m down the runway at a speed of 77 kt, described as a little fast, with a perfect vertical rate of minus 38 fpm and very good runway alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 859 m, representing 36 % of the 2,369 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
Set the appropriate flap configuration to obtain a stabilized approach and ensure the approach meets the 1,000 ft gate criteria. Adjust the touchdown speed slightly closer to the target VREF to eliminate the minor excess noted.
