Settle the descent rate
Next time
Fly a stabilized approach and flare to touch down at the target point of 457 m.
What happened: Touchdown occurred past the normal point, landing 191 m beyond the target distance. This pattern typically reduces the margin available for stopping before the runway end.
Watch for: Watch touchdown point against the 457 m marker.
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: sink rate 2,026 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 4.4° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,156 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,156 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 648 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at EGSH Norwich Airport in 14 minutes, covering 3 nm before commencing the departure roll.
During the take-off roll on runway 27, the Boeing 737-800 used 1,416 m of runway, representing 77 % of the available length, and lifted off at 154 kt; ambient temperature was 31 °C with wind 6 kt from 228 °, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile north east of Costessey (Norfolk, England), with the aircraft ascending from 1,139 ft asl to 37,472 ft asl, a gain of 36,333 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 148 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Barendrecht (Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands) and continued for 243 minutes, during which 1,219 nm were flown.
Descent started 6 miles north of Yenifoca (Izmir, Turkey), descending from 38,755 ft asl to 11,504 ft asl, a loss of 27,252 ft in 25 minutes and covering 159 nm.
A short cruise followed 14 miles north of Ortaca (Mugla, Turkey), lasting 3 minutes and spanning 13 nm.
The next descent began 17 miles south of Kale (Denizli, Turkey), dropping from 11,059 ft asl to 10,602 ft asl, a decrease of 456 ft in 2 minutes over 1 nm.
A subsequent cruise segment originated 18 miles south east of Kale (Denizli, Turkey) and lasted 29 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Descent resumed 18 miles south east of Kale, with the aircraft descending from 10,602 ft asl to 6,148 ft asl, a loss of 4,454 ft in 5 minutes while traveling 15 nm.
Another cruise phase started 9 miles north east of Ortaca (Mugla, Turkey), lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nm.
The final descent began 8 miles north east of Ortaca (Mugla, Turkey), with a reduction from 5,629 ft asl to 1,853 ft asl, a loss of 3,776 ft in 2 minutes and a distance of 10 nm.
The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 19 at LTBS Dalaman International Airport from the north, on a heading of 193.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,810 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19, which is 3,002 m long, the threshold height at 60 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed was 140 kt; touchdown occurred 230 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 145 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.7 m from the centreline. Ambient conditions were 29 °C, wind 8 kt from 190 °, a 1 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 2,074 m, representing 69 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,577 nm, required 229 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 8,930 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 completed the final approach to runway 19 at LTBS Dalaman International Airport from the north on a heading of 193.0° at 4 nm and 1,810 ft agl, maintaining a stable path in 8 kt wind from 190° with a 1 kt cross-component and an 8 kt headwind, while ambient temperature was 29 °C.
At the threshold the aircraft was 60 ft agl, which was above target, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 140 kt, indicating the speed was within the expected range for the phase.
Touchdown occurred 230 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 132 kt judged good, a smooth vertical rate of minus 145 fpm, and the wheel track was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,074 m, representing 69 % of the 3,002 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Refine the approach to achieve the target threshold height and adjust the final flare to bring the touchdown point closer to the designated zone, which will also help reduce the slight lateral offset observed at touchdown.
