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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,560 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 09 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX), with a takeoff distance of 1,042 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Kegworth, Leicestershire, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,270 feet above sea level to 37,762 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,492 feet in 39 minutes, covering 295 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 7 miles northwest of Oughterard, Connaught, Ireland, and lasted for 303 minutes, covering 2,530 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles west of Exeter Airport (KEXE), Exeter, Rhode Island, United States, descending from 38,249 feet above sea level to 2,060 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,189 feet in 14 minutes, covering 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Oakdale, New York, United States, lasting for 9 minutes and covering 37 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent overhead NK30 Private Sealanes-Jamaica Bay Seaplane Base, Brooklyn, New York, United States, descending from 1,976 feet above sea level to 1,307 feet above sea level, a decrease of 669 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) was made from the southwest, heading 31.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, and the touchdown rate was -155 feet per minute, both of which were considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 108°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 942 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,957 nautical miles, taking 361 minutes, and the aircraft used 15,790 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) on runway 04R, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 31.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 128 knots. The touchdown point was located 65 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a moderate wind of 9 knots from a direction of 108°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 942 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft's approach and landing performance were efficient, and the pilot was able to maintain control throughout the descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700 aircraft's landing performance at KJFK was satisfactory, with a high score of 97.1%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were well-suited to the local weather conditions, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
