Keep the wings level 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.
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 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 280 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at LEZL Sevilla Airport in Andalusia, Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,571 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of LEZL Sevilla Airport and reached an altitude of 34,557 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,421 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles north of LEWO Aeródromo forestal de Herrera del Duque Villarta de los Montes in Extremadura, Spain, and lasted for 100 minutes, covering a distance of 396 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 62 miles southwest of Saint-Clement-des-Baleines in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, and descended from 34,195 feet to 18,616 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,579 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 10 miles south of LFEY Île d'Yeu Airport Île d'Yeu in Pays de la Loire, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile south of LFEY Île d'Yeu Airport and descended from 18,116 feet to 784 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,332 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport was made from the northeast, heading 209.0° at 2 nautical miles and 692 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 281 meters and a touchdown speed of 147 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 19°C temperature and winds of 13 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,084 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 628 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes. The aircraft used 4,958 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport, with a final approach score of 99.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 209.0° at 2 nautical miles and 692 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 21, which has a length of 2,694 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot decision-making. The touchdown distance of 281 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 147 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm). This is not ideal, as a higher touchdown rate can increase the risk of damage to the aircraft's landing gear and other components. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind conditions and pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,084 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 99.5%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the slightly high touchdown speed and the misaligned runway touchdown position.
