Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,686 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,686 m of the 2,977 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 89 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25 at the Falcone–Borsellino Airport, also known as LICJ. The takeoff distance was 1,327 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots coming from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Cinisi, Sicilia, Italy. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 317 meters above sea level to 10,939 meters above sea level.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 67 miles south of Ponza, Lazio, Italy. This phase lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 255 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 23 miles west of Marina di Pisa, Toscana, Italy. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 10,951 meters above sea level to 608 meters above sea level.
The final approach to runway 35R at Milan Malpensa International Airport, also known as LIMC, was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 385.5 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,977 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 151 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 91 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 150 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -2.7 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots coming from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,611 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 492 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,030 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC) on runway 35R. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at an altitude of 385.5 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots, registering at 151 kt. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 91 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 150 kt was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -2.7 meters per second. A hard touchdown rate can be a concern as it may put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase. Fortunately, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to quickly correct the aircraft's alignment and maintain control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, and the headwind component was even weaker at 1 kt. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance of 1,611 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the pilots were able to maintain control and ensure a safe and smooth landing.
