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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 459 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,029 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,527 feet above sea level to 5,679 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,152 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued as the aircraft ascended from 5,699 feet above sea level to 34,804 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,105 feet, in 17 minutes and covering 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted 69 minutes and covered 524 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 12 miles north of Lanmodez, France.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 35,665 feet above sea level to 6,441 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,224 feet, in 23 minutes and covering 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 10 miles south of Villajoyosa, Spain, and the aircraft descended from 6,230 feet above sea level to 1,370 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,860 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport was made from the east, heading 282.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots and a touchdown distance of 454 meters. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.9 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 289 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,140 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.2 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 831 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 131 minutes. The aircraft used 4,977 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, with a final approach score of 84.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 282.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 28, which has a length of 2,985 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the final approach.
The touchdown distance of 454 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to touch down with a reasonable amount of deceleration.
However, there were some issues with the alignment of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.9 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft was not aligned with the runway as it touched down. This misalignment could have been caused by a variety of factors, including wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 289°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. These conditions would not have significantly impacted the landing, and the pilot's ability to control the aircraft was not compromised by the wind.
The total landing distance of 1,140 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.2 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft was not aligned with the runway as it rolled out after touchdown. This misalignment could have been caused by a variety of factors, including pilot error or a failure to properly align the aircraft with the runway during the landing.
