Hold the approach angle
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,175 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 635 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 747-8 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,122 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 19°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,183 feet above sea level to 9,981 feet, an increase of 8,798 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, before initiating another climb phase 1 mile west of Gevelsberg. This climb took the aircraft from 10,456 feet to 19,024 feet, an increase of 8,568 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with notable stops including 2 miles north of Plettenberg, 2 miles west of Brilon, 1 mile west of EDVO Dehausen Airfield Volkmarsen, and 2 miles north west of Warburg. The aircraft also experienced a final climb phase 3 miles south east of Bad Lippspringe, before initiating a descent 3 miles south west of Altenbeken.
The final approach to runway 24 at EDLP Paderborn Lippstadt Airport was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 237.0° at 2 nautical miles and 903 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 2,175 meters, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 181 knots. The touchdown point was 233 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 168 knots, which was slightly fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 258°. The crosswind and headwind components were 1 and 2 knots, respectively. The total landing distance was 1,310 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 120 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 30 minutes. The aircraft used 124 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 237.0° at 2 nautical miles and 903 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 2,175 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 181 knots. However, the touchdown point was 233 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 168 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 258°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during landing.
The total landing distance was 1,310 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed or the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown point and speed, as well as the runway rollout alignment.
