This makes no sense to me. How can you be in a _stabilised_ approach
and not be assured of the runway? Why is the approach to the short
runway only slightly steeper than VASI -you must have some power on
with 20 flaps if that is the case aso why are you are not in the short
field config?. Best glide in a 172 is 10:1 = 6 degrees with no flaps
(you should know this) and if you are now on or below the VASI
glideslope you won't make the runway so pick a landing spot fast and
go for it.
Cheers
