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 1,612 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,612 m of the 2,695 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 491 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 flight began at EVRA Riga International Airport, where the aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm. The departure took place from runway 18, with a takeoff distance of 1,379 m, equivalent to 48% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was measured at 154 knots. The local weather at the time of departure indicated a temperature of 9 °C, with a wind speed of 12 knots coming from 220°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The enroute climb began 1 mile south of EVRA Riga International Airport and ascended from 1,063 ft above sea level to 29,739 ft, covering a total distance of 90 nm in 17 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise stage, which started 3 miles east of Grobina and lasted 4 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nm.
Another climb was initiated 24 miles west of Liepaja, increasing the altitude from 29,754 ft to 32,702 ft over 4 minutes while covering 32 nm. The subsequent level cruise phase began 53 miles southeast of Burgsvik and lasted 23 minutes, covering a distance of 157 nm.
Upon commencing the descent 1 mile north of Jaemshoeg, the aircraft descended from 32,663 ft to 1,238 ft, resulting in a decrease of 31,425 ft over 26 minutes and covering 126 nm. The final approach to runway 28L at EKAH Aarhus Airport from the east, at 4 nm and 1,150 ft above ground level.
The landing occurred on runway 28L at EKAH Aarhus Airport, where the runway length was 2,695 m. The threshold height and speed were within acceptable parameters, with a slight deviation in touchdown speed at 146 knots. The touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone, and the touchdown rate was fair at -212 ft per minute. The alignment upon touchdown was slightly misaligned by 5.4 m from the centerline. Local weather conditions during landing showed a temperature of 5 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 190°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and no headwind.
The total landing distance covered was 1,536 m, equivalent to 57% of the runway length, with a very good runway rollout alignment. Upon taxiing from the runway to the parking area, the aircraft took 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered a distance of 446 nm, taking 85 minutes and consuming 3,838 kg of fuel.
