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 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 m past the threshold — beyond 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 a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25 at EGGW London Luton Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,056 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Luton, England. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,345 feet above sea level to 35,458 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,112 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north west of Veulettes-sur-Mer, France. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 256 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile north west of La Charmee, France. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 62 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,406 feet above sea level to 2,655 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,751 feet.
The final approach to runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 44.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 3,570 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -336 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 8 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,411 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 444 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 90 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,246 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The final approach to runway 04 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 44.0° at an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 140 knots being maintained. The touchdown point was located 126 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -336 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a smooth and stable landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 8°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,411 meters was 40% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
