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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,502 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,502 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a takeoff distance of 940 meters, utilizing 27% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 143 knots, with a local temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 21 knots. The wind direction was 249 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Aalsmeerderbrug, with the aircraft ascending from 969 feet above sea level to 4,092 feet, an increase of 3,124 feet in 1 minute, covering 3 nautical miles. The climb continued with multiple segments, including a notable climb from 3,827 feet to 19,934 feet, an increase of 16,107 feet in 7 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned to level cruise and descent phases, with the final descent starting overhead East Tilbury, descending from 3,619 feet to 1,806 feet in 4 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then proceeded to EGLC London City Airport, where it initiated a final approach to runway 27 from the east. However, a go-around was executed at 65 feet above ground level. The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 27, with a touchdown distance of 405 meters and a touchdown speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,213 meters, utilizing 81% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight with a total distance of 319 nautical miles, a flight time of 99 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 2,145 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport from the east, heading 277.0° at 2 nm and 1,766 ft agl, was executed with a satisfactory approach quality. The aircraft's descent was slightly above target, with a threshold height of 63 ft agl, and the threshold speed was well above target at 139 kt. Despite this, the pilot maintained control and precision throughout the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was notable, with a touchdown distance of 405 m, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 131 kt was fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -304 fpm. Notwithstanding these factors, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a wind of 19 kt at 250°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,213 m, which accounted for 81% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision throughout the landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 84.0%, reflecting a satisfactory performance despite some minor deviations from target values.
