Hold the approach angle
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 2,141 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,141 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 802 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,594 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,000 feet above sea level to 34,961 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles southeast of Frinton-on-Sea in England. This phase lasted for 85 minutes and covered a distance of 623 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles southwest of LEFO Aeródromo de Reboira Fonsagrada in Spain. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,866 feet to 1,521 feet.
The final approach to runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,316 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35, which had a length of 3,034 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was above the target speed at 154 knots.
The touchdown point was 385 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -344 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 310°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,059 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.3 meters. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 893 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 153 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,890 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, with a final approach score of 87.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,316 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 35, which has a length of 3,034 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 154 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's speed being influenced by the wind conditions at the time of landing.
The touchdown point was 385 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed and altitude at the time of touchdown. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -344 feet per minute (fpm). This firm touchdown rate may have been due to the aircraft's speed and the weight of the aircraft.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,059 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.3 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the aircraft's alignment and speed during the final approach and touchdown phases. However, the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance and the pilot was able to maintain control throughout the landing.
