Get the gear down before the gate
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 six 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: gear still up and speed 83 kt FAST on the reference speed of 120 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,391 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London City Airport, the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 09, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 668-meter runway, which was used at 50% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 142 knots, clearing the ground with ease.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Abbey Wood in Greater London. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,140 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 21,001 feet, a vertical gain of 19,861 feet, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining its altitude for 3 minutes as it flew northwest of Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex. This was followed by a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with the aircraft descending from 21,009 feet to 7,008 feet over a distance of 65 nautical miles in 10 minutes, and then climbing back up to 7,001 feet before descending again to 1,294 feet in just 5 minutes.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, it began its final approach to runway 36R, flying from the south at a heading of 3.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down 96 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a rate of descent of -295 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 220 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 53 minutes and a fuel consumption of 715 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 36R at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from the south was executed with a heading of 3.0° at 4 nm and 1,256 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 129 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down, it was 96 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 kt, which was considered fast. The touchdown rate of -295 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a wind of 4 kt at 344°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a minimal crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 4 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,362 m was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and align the aircraft with the centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 96.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
