Keep the wings level on final
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 2,115 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 722 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 4 knots and no crosswind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 915 feet above sea level to 23,016 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,101 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles south east of Enkhuizen, Netherlands. This cruise phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles south east of Borkum, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 23,001 feet above sea level to 2,995 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,006 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north west of Pellworm, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles north of Midlum, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level to 1,348 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,652 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 324.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32, which had a length of 2,115 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 130 knots.
The touchdown point was 50 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -203 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 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and no headwind.
The total landing distance was 925 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 222 nautical miles, and the flight took 41 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,108 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 324.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 121 knots. However, the touchdown point was 50 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 230°. This resulted in a negligible headwind and a crosswind of 6 knots, which did not significantly impact the aircraft's approach or landing. The runway length of 2,115 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 925 meters, which accounted for 44% of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
