Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 143 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 136 kt against a VREF of 143 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 143 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 143 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,004 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 690 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 06L, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 4,364 ft, representing 44 % of the runway length, and achieved liftoff at 159 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 85 °F, wind 5 kt from 30°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-east of El Prat de Llobregat, with the aircraft climbing from 968 ft asl to 32,012 ft asl, an altitude gain of 31,044 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 98 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles south-east of LESU Pirineus-la Seu d'Urgel Airport and continued for 63 minutes, during which the flight covered 497 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 24 miles south-east of Ventnor, Isle of Wight, with the aircraft descending from 31,999 ft asl to 1,582 ft asl, a loss of 30,417 ft over 19 minutes and a distance of 106 nm.
The final approach to runway 04 at EGSS London Stansted Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 43.0° at 4 nm and 1,239 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 80 °F, wind 5 kt from 32°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Landing on runway 04 was executed with a threshold speed of 136 kt; touchdown occurred at 687 ft down the runway, at a speed of 134 kt, and a vertical speed of minus 97 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was described as perfect.
The rollout distance measured 4,477 ft, equivalent to 50 % of the runway length, and runway rollout alignment was noted as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 709 nm, required 110 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 11,304 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 approached runway 04 at EGSS London Stansted from the south-west on a final approach at a heading of 43.0 ° while 4 nm out and 1,239 ft agl, with a local temperature of 80 °F, wind 5 kt from 32 °, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind component; the overall score recorded was 99.2 %.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was good at 136 kt.
Touchdown occurred 687 ft down the runway at a speed of 134 kt that was good, with a touchdown rate that was excellent at minus 97 fpm and runway touchdown alignment that was perfect.
The total landing distance measured 4,477 ft, representing 50 % of the 9,005 ft runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the current precision but consider fine-tuning speed control to keep touchdown distance consistently within the optimal range, ensuring the already excellent alignment and rate are preserved.
