Keep the speed up 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 450 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 03 at Maastricht Aachen Airport (EHBK). The takeoff distance was 753 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Ulestraten in the Netherlands. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,483 feet above sea level to 19,110 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,627 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles south of Malmedy in Belgium. This cruise phase lasted for 79 minutes and covered a distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead the town of Zettingen in Germany. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 18,690 feet above sea level to 10,573 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,117 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead the town of Walluf in Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting overhead the town of Sulzbach in Germany. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 9,368 feet above sea level to 5,993 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,375 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Gelnhausen Airfield in Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead the town of Erlensee in Germany. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 5,702 feet above sea level to 1,657 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,045 feet.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), approaching from the east at a heading of 250.0° and at an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 59°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 6 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 451 meters, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -275 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,260 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 182 nautical
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 99.4%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 128 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 451 meters was also deemed good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilots' skill and control during the landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -275 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilots could have maintained a more gradual descent rate to reduce the impact on the aircraft's landing gear. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a precise alignment with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 59°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
The total landing distance of 1,260 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
