Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,733 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,733 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 869 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions, with a temperature of 3°C and winds of 8 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. After departing from Frankfurt, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 38,297 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 106 nautical miles and took 21 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 36,888 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 509 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile east of Mabompre, in Wallonia, Belgium. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles northwest of De Haan, in Flanders, Belgium. The descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 38,489 feet to 1,518 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,971 feet, in 28 minutes and covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 08R at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), coming in from the west at a heading of 78.0° and at an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5°C and winds of 8 knots at 60°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 08R, with a touchdown distance of 393 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -144 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters. The total landing distance was 1,647 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 368 nautical miles, and the flight took 82 minutes, using 3,271 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at London Gatwick Airport's runway 08R, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 78.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 393 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -144 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of the aircraft's stability during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more stable.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 66% of the runway length, at a total distance of 1,647 meters. The pilots' performance was commendable, and the aircraft's systems performed as expected, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
