Hold the approach angle
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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,383 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 118 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport Ferno, where the aircraft ascended from 1,809 feet above sea level to 34,208 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,399 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles south east of Limone Piemonte, lasting 32 minutes and covering 219 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 32 miles east of Tamariu, Spain, where it descended from 33,469 feet above sea level to 26,195 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,274 feet in 4 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 43 miles south east of Palamos, Spain, lasting 113 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent 44 miles south east of Palamos, where it descended from 26,048 feet above sea level to 9,986 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,062 feet in 9 minutes, covering 55 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 35 miles north east of Port de Pollenca, Spain, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 26 miles north east of Port de Pollenca, where it descended from 9,301 feet above sea level to 4,812 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,488 feet in 4 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 15 miles north east of Alcudia, Spain, lasting 6 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles south of Alcudia, where it descended from 5,044 feet above sea level to 1,226 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,818 feet in 6 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was made from the north east, heading 240.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,210 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 249 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,249 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 469 nautical miles, taking 102 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,110 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 24L was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with a high degree of accuracy, with the touchdown point located 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone. This indicates that the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the designated area, but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and managed the descent effectively.
The threshold speed was slightly below the target of 130 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a smooth touchdown over achieving the exact target speed. However, this did not compromise the overall safety of the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft remains on course and can be safely brought to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 249°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward for the pilot.
The total landing distance of 1,249 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and managed the deceleration effectively.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The pilot's decision-making and execution of the landing were commendable, and the aircraft was safely brought to a stop on the runway.
