Be on speed by the gate
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: speed 17 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 147 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 20 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,540 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 588 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London City Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 27, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft accelerated down the 1,175-meter runway, using 88% of its length to reach liftoff speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Canary Wharf. The initial climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,052 feet above sea level to 2,934 feet, an increase of 1,882 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles, before initiating another climb phase, this time from 3,009 feet to 23,007 feet, an increase of 19,998 feet in 9 minutes, covering 45 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with level segments lasting 8 minutes, covering 82 nautical miles, and 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting overhead Lichtervelde, Belgium, and descending from 22,993 feet to 3,458 feet, a decrease of 19,535 feet in 14 minutes, covering 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Brussels South Charleroi Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 244.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,068 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 113 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The total landing distance was 1,128 meters, covering 54% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 245 nautical miles, taking 52 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,727 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 24 at EBCI Brussels South Charleroi Airport, showcasing a commendable approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,068 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 244.0°. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 130 knots, registering at 128 kt. The touchdown point was located 166 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 113 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilots' proficiency in maintaining a stable and aligned approach.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying centered on the runway. The total landing distance of 1,128 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was scored 97.3%, reflecting the pilots' skill and expertise in executing a safe and efficient landing.
