Track the centreline 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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,250 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 20 m short of the threshold. The 1.94 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 10 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base, covering 1 nm in 4 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 10, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,360 m, representing 51 % of the runway, and lifted off at 159 kt. Ambient conditions were 37 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 137 °, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Brusaporto in Lombardia, Italy, with the airplane ascending from 1,696 ft asl to 38,005 ft asl - a gain of 36,309 ft - in 21 minutes while covering 144 nm.
Cruise began 1 mile south-east of Vorderthal in Kanton Schwyz, Switzerland, and was maintained for 32 minutes, during which 251 nm were flown.
Descent started over EDGQ Schameder Airfield in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 37,997 ft asl to 510 ft asl - a loss of 37,487 ft - in 27 minutes and covering 148 nm.
The final approach to runway 09 at EDLV Weeze Airport was executed from the west, on a heading of 115.0 ° at 1 nm and 398 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred before the threshold at a speed of 133 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 555 fpm. The aircraft landed 6.5 m off the centreline, and the total landing distance was 536 m, equal to 24 % of the runway. Local weather at the time was 22 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 126 °, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind of 2 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was measured at 19.2 m off the centreline.
After landing, the Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 547 nm, required 87 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,090 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 approached runway 09 at Weeze Airport from the west on a heading of 115.0° while 1 NM out and 398 ft above ground, with ambient temperature 22 °C, a wind from 126° at 2 kt, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft touched down before the runway threshold; the touchdown speed was 133 kt, which the data rates as good, but the vertical speed at touchdown was very hard at minus 555 fpm.
At the moment of touchdown the aircraft was laterally offset by 6.5 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 536 m, representing 24 % of the runway length, and the aircraft’s path was misaligned by 19.2 m from the centreline during rollout.
Future landings should target the standard aim point, roughly 300 m (1,000 ft) down the runway, and refine the flare to reduce vertical speed at touchdown. Maintaining tighter centreline tracking through rollout will keep lateral deviation within acceptable limits.
