Human Factors
I was the PNF and the First Officer on this flight to ZZZ. On our approach into ZZZ we were slightly high on vectors and then cleared for the visual approach. The Captain PF was at a speed of 230 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) and was trying to descend and slow to land. He was unable to slow to 200 KIAS as we were entering the Class C airspace and we determined the approach was unstable and executed a go-around. We entered the traffic pattern and landed successfully. I believe the cause is a decrease in proficiency due to reduced flying during the pandemic. We were doing 220-230 KIAS while entering the Class C airspace.
Corporate First Officer reported an unstable approach occurred and cited lack of flying as a contributing factor.
