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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,350 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Casorate Sempione in Lombardia, Italy. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,798 feet above sea level to 30,732 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,934 feet. The distance covered during this period was 94 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Meillerie in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Haraucourt in Grand Est, France. The descent took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 30,785 feet above sea level to 1,907 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,878 feet. The distance covered during this period was 153 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Werchter in Flanders, Belgium. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 245.0° and at an altitude of 1,163 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, which has a length of 3,075 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 166 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 301 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 159 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -271 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 10 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,420 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 397 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. The aircraft used 3,591 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25R, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,163 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 159 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 301 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -271 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The landing was performed in a challenging weather condition, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 170°. The crosswind component was 10 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain a good threshold height and a runway touchdown position that was only slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centreline.
However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. The total landing distance of 1,420 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more accurate runway alignment during the rollout phase.
