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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,105 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 11 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport in Warsaw, Poland. The takeoff distance was 895 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 109 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 7 knots. After departing from Warsaw, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 28,657 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 81 nautical miles and took 14 minutes.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles. This phase began 3 miles north of Malogoszcz, Poland. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile northwest of EPLC Lotnisko Jasienna Korzenna, Poland. The descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 27,446 feet to 2,025 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles in 17 minutes.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 01 at LZKZ Košice International Airport from the south. The aircraft was heading at 13.0 degrees and was 4 nautical miles away from the runway at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots and a touchdown distance of 431 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -241 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 19 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,177 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 229 nautical miles, and the flight took 51 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,410 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LZKZ Košice International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 13.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with a threshold height that was deemed good. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown distance of 431 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 127 knots was within the recommended range.
However, there were some minor deviations from optimal performance. The touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have required some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 19°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal at 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,177 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and was able to bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures.
