Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Adjust power to bring the approach speed onto 145 kt and hold it through the gates.
What happened: The approach speed deviated from the target through the stabilisation gates. This kind of deviation usually carries through to an unstable threshold crossing.
Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 145 kt.
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: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 145 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 145 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,776 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,776 m of the 3,700 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 924 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 05R at UAAA Almaty International Airport in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 05R the aircraft used 2,468 m, which is 56 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 165 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 40 °C, wind 5 kt from 20°, with a 3 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-east of UAAA Almaty International Airport, with the aeroplane climbing from 3,216 ft asl to 31,782 ft asl - an increase of 28,566 ft - in 28 minutes while covering 191 nm.
The first cruise segment began 24 miles north-west of UASD Novotroitskoye Airport Shu and continued for 240 minutes, during which 1,749 nm were flown.
Descent started 13 miles south-west of UUBJ Katyn’ Airport, with altitude decreasing from 32,001 ft asl to 4,003 ft asl - a loss of 27,998 ft - in 22 minutes over a distance of 120 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 4 miles south-east of Lahoysk, lasting 9 minutes and covering 32 nm.
The subsequent descent began 8 miles west of Smaliavicy, descending from 2,960 ft asl to 1,863 ft asl - a reduction of 1,097 ft - in 2 minutes across 6 nm.
The final approach to Minsk National Airport was flown from 1 nm out to the runway threshold at 1,183 ft agl. During the touchdown segment the aircraft descended from 41 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 41 ft in 8 seconds.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 130 kt with a vertical rate of minus 269 fpm, and the main-gear contact point was 155 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. Weather at the airport was temperature 26 °C, wind 6 kt from 169°, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
The landing rollout was completed at an altitude of 667 ft asl, with the aircraft traveling 730 m before exiting the runway.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area at Minsk National Airport in 6 minutes, covering 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 2,108 nm, required 313 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 14,074 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to Minsk National Airport from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 1,183 ft agl, with ambient temperature 26 °C, wind 6 kt from 169°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft descended from 41 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 41 ft achieved in 8 seconds.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 130 kt, which was described as good, with a vertical rate of -269 fpm rated as fair, and the touchdown point was located 155 m beyond the designated touchdown zone.
The rollout continued at an altitude of 667 ft asl and covered a distance of 730 m.
To improve the landing score, aim to place the touchdown within the touchdown zone by adjusting the flare timing, and fine-tune the approach path to reduce the overshoot distance.
