Narrative:

While flying a tight right downwind entry at 6000 ft my aircraft was cleared for a visual landing. We were #1 for the runway and first officer misjudged his turn to final (too close and too high). I felt we could continue approach at a steeper than normal rate. Approach continued and in fact was very steep and resulted in a landing at 3000 ft mark of runway. In retrospect we should have requested a 360 degree turn to make a shallower approach or gone around. Thus avoiding a fast and steep approach and landing.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACR ON STABILIZED VISUAL APCH IS VERY UNSTABLE, LANDS LONG.

Narrative: WHILE FLYING A TIGHT R DOWNWIND ENTRY AT 6000 FT MY ACFT WAS CLRED FOR A VISUAL LNDG. WE WERE #1 FOR THE RWY AND FO MISJUDGED HIS TURN TO FINAL (TOO CLOSE AND TOO HIGH). I FELT WE COULD CONTINUE APCH AT A STEEPER THAN NORMAL RATE. APCH CONTINUED AND IN FACT WAS VERY STEEP AND RESULTED IN A LNDG AT 3000 FT MARK OF RWY. IN RETROSPECT WE SHOULD HAVE REQUESTED A 360 DEG TURN TO MAKE A SHALLOWER APCH OR GONE AROUND. THUS AVOIDING A FAST AND STEEP APCH AND LNDG.
