Narrative:
Aircraft was unstable during night visual backed up with RNAV; go-around was initiated with a left pattern to a landing.pilot monitoring detected the unstable approach near the final approach fix due to speed; configuration and altitude above the glidepath as out of reasonable parameters to complete a stable approach and landing.pilot flying was too high; fast and configured too late for a stabilized approach. Guidance was full scale and PAPI was all white outside and just inside the final approach fix. Vertical speed was 1;000 FPM with no apparent capture of the glidepath. The pilot flying increased descent rate to 1;500 FPM and we were at 1;200 feet. I (pilot monitoring) immediately called for a go-around. The pilot flying did not respond; I called for it again and it was finally initiated. We climbed to 2;000 feet MSL and flew a left pattern for another approach. The landing was normal except that I had to intervene by adding thrust during the round out and flare.called for go-around and pilot flying performed after second command. The pilot flying is new to the line and would benefit from more training by an oe instructor.
