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 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 124 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 21 kt FAST on the reference speed of 124 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 2,796 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 292 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 12 at LEMG Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport in 4 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 12, the Boeing 737-700 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,063 m, representing 34 % of the runway, and lifted off at 137 kt. Ambient conditions were 28 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 129°, including a 1 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead LEMG, with the airplane ascending from 992 ft asl to 40,999 ft asl, an increase of 40,007 ft achieved in 44 minutes while covering 348 nm.
The first cruise segment began 25 miles south-west of El Toro (Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain) and persisted for 135 minutes, during which 1,044 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started over Kotowice (Silesian Voivodeship, Poland), descending from 40,995 ft asl to 2,999 ft asl, a loss of 37,996 ft in 17 minutes and spanning 103 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiated 1 mile north-west of Paprotnia (Masovian Voivodeship, Poland), lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nm.
Subsequent descent began 1 mile south of Zaborow (Masovian Voivodeship, Poland), dropping from 3,001 ft asl to 1,682 ft asl, a decrease of 1,320 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 7 nm.
Final approach to runway 11 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport involved a descent from 1,363 ft agl to 43 ft agl in 99 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 11 was executed with a threshold speed of 128 kt, touchdown occurring 291 m down the runway at 123 kt and a vertical speed of minus 165 fpm. The runway length is 2,796 m; total landing distance recorded was 780 m, representing 28 % of the runway. Local weather reported a temperature of 20 °C, wind 2 kt from 80°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Runway rollout alignment was described as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,522 nm, lasted 209 minutes, and consumed 8,451 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 conducted the final approach to runway 11 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport and was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF. The aircraft descended from 1,363 ft agl to 43 ft agl in 99 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 128 kt. The flare proceeded without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 291 m down the runway at a speed of 123 kt, which was a little fast, with a touchdown rate of -165 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance was 780 m, representing 28 % of the 2,796 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 20 °C with wind 2 kt from 080°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind.
Reduce approach speed to be within VREF by the 1,000 ft gate and refine flare timing to lower touchdown speed, which will bring the landing even closer to the target parameters.
