I had to go and take care of something just before TOD (subsonic TOD!), so ended up missing it. This put me very high and after a quick dive down, I ended up becoming unstable on short finals which resulted in a (far to late) go around and a rejected landing with a touchdown of -794fpm. I did visual circuit to land at a more acceptable rate. I realise the first touchdown was more than the regulations allow and so I understand if this causes my PIREP to be rejected. Lessons learned: I should have paused the flight and come back to it at a later stage. The approach was fairly stable until around 200 ft at which point I should have gone around rather than risk a hard landing. I self positioned onto the ILS which is not exactly ideal (I did remain above MSA until visual) and I should have given myself more miles on the approach to get more comfortable.
