Hold the approach angle
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 374 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28R at Dublin Airport, EIDW. The takeoff distance was 1,653 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Dublin Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,263 feet above sea level to 33,960 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,697 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, first starting 1 mile southwest of Llanfairfechan, Wales, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. It then climbed again from 33,906 feet to 34,898 feet, an increase of 992 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles northeast of Llandyrnog, Wales, and lasting 23 minutes, covering 174 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it encountered various weather conditions and entered different phases of flight. It descended from 34,831 feet to 24,234 feet, a decrease of 10,596 feet in 7 minutes, covering 50 nautical miles. It then entered another level cruise, starting 12 miles east of Deal, England, and lasting 5 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then descended again from 23,949 feet to 9,971 feet, a decrease of 13,977 feet in 7 minutes, covering 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Bavegem, Belgium, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. It then descended again from 9,922 feet to 1,983 feet, a decrease of 7,939 feet in 8 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Aarschot, Belgium, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport, EBBR, was from the east, heading 250° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft went around at 70 feet above ground level. The landing was then completed on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 123 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 374 meters, and the touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 350°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,433 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 474 nautical miles, taking 105 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,794 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport, with a score of 87.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a good threshold speed of 149 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the threshold height was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly too high at the moment of touchdown. This could be attributed to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher altitude to ensure a safe margin for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a good touchdown speed of 118 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -138 fpm. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 374 meters. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's attempt to compensate for the crosswind.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 350°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed and distance. However, there were some minor issues with the threshold height and runway touchdown position, which may require further attention from the pilots to improve their performance.
