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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 259 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at Glasgow International Airport, taking 8 minutes to cover 2 nm. The departure roll from runway 23 involved a takeoff distance of 1,240 m, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was measured at 161 knots. Despite the chilly temperature of -0 °C, the wind conditions were relatively calm with a 4 knot wind coming from 31 °. There was a slight crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots during takeoff.
The enroute climb commenced over Glasgow International Airport, climbing from 1,075 ft to 5,705 ft over Paisley, covering 7 nm in 3 minutes. The subsequent level cruise phase started near Quarrier's Village, covering 8 nm in 2 minutes. Another climb phase began north of Milton, climbing to 37,221 ft in 20 minutes and covering 127 nm. This was followed by a longer cruise phase starting east of Isle of Scalpay and lasting 67 minutes, covering 458 nm.
The descent phase was initiated south east of BIVI Vík Airport in Iceland, descending from 37,468 ft to 1,445 ft in 28 minutes over 137 nm. The final approach to runway 28 at Keflavik International Airport involved a smooth landing from the east at 1,292 ft above ground level, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots. Despite a very hard touchdown rate of -556 ft/m, the touchdown distance and alignment were good.
After landing on the 3,050 m long runway, the aircraft utilized 43% of the runway for landing, with a total landing distance of 1,313 m. The runway rollout alignment was deemed perfect. The taxi back to the parking area took 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. Throughout the flight, a total of 4,991 kg of fuel was consumed over a distance of 746 nm, taking a total flight time of 135 minutes.
