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 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,809 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 4.8° against the runway's 3° and speed 40 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,734 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 49 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,893 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,893 m of the 3,342 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,009 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Dublin Airport (EIDW), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 28R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 3,075-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 156 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,269 meters accounted for 41% of the available runway length, with a local temperature of 18°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Dublin, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,576 feet above sea level to 32,135 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude of 32,135 feet. The enroute level cruise phase was interspersed with several climb segments, including a notable climb from 32,586 feet to 34,635 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 12 minutes and covering 217 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Brussels Airport (EBBR).
The final approach to runway 07L at EBBR was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft descending from 34,998 feet to 2,182 feet in 19 minutes, covering 121 nautical miles. The landing was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height and a well-above-target threshold speed of 180 knots. The touchdown point was 641 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 165 knots and a fair touchdown rate of -259 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,860 meters accounted for 60% of the available runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 475 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 4,100 kilograms and a flight time of 72 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 07L at EBBR Brussels Airport, with a threshold height of 59 ft agl, slightly above the target. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 165 kt, which was faster than the target, resulting in a touchdown rate of -259 fpm, classified as fair. The touchdown point was located 641 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly longer than ideal landing distance.
The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 65.0° at 3 nm and 2,015 ft agl, aligning with the final approach course. However, the threshold speed of 180 kt was significantly above the target, suggesting a potential for a longer than necessary landing roll. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the fast touchdown speed.
The aircraft's rollout was well-managed, with a very good alignment to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,860 m, accounting for 60% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 86.8%, indicating a satisfactory but not exceptional execution.
