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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,498 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,179 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 28 at KBWI Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,885 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 319°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Hanover, Maryland. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,172 feet above sea level to 25,067 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,895 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of MD1 Massey Aerodrome in Maryland. This phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 154 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Stony Brook, New York. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 24,976 feet above sea level to 2,876 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,101 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north west of CT31 Swift Airport in Connecticut. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile east of Longmeadow, Massachusetts. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,352 feet above sea level to 1,442 feet above sea level, a decrease of 910 feet.
The final approach to runway 24 at KBDL Bradley International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 225.0° at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24, which had a length of 9,498 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,177 feet, but the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 322°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 3,878 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 291 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,098 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KBDL Bradley International Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 kt, coming in at 136 kt. The touchdown distance of 1,177 ft was deemed good, but the touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -232 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 ft from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 30 °F and a wind speed of 9 kt from 322°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 3,878 ft was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling.
