Track the centreline
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,851 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 881 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 13L at Dallas Love Field in eight minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 13L, the Boeing 737-700 used 4,885 ft of runway, representing 67 % of the available length, and lifted off at 147 kt; ambient temperature was 90 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 187°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced one mile southwest of University Park, Texas, where the aircraft ascended from 1,399 ft asl to 37,001 ft asl, a gain of 35,602 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 114 nm.
The first cruise segment began four miles south of TX35 Key’s Ranch Airport Boxelder/Lydia, Texas, and persisted for 146 minutes, during which the flight covered 1,101 nm.
Descent started one mile southeast of Eltingville, New York, with the aircraft descending from 36,999 ft asl to 22,971 ft asl, a loss of 14,029 ft in 10 minutes over a distance of 79 nm.
A brief cruise phase followed one mile west of Guilford, Connecticut, lasting three minutes and spanning 24 nm.
The second descent began two miles southeast of Salem, Connecticut, where the airplane dropped from 23,018 ft asl to 1,291 ft asl, a decrease of 21,727 ft in 20 minutes while covering another 79 nm.
Final approach to runway 04R at Logan International Airport, Boston, involved a descent from 1,314 ft agl to 7 ft agl in 109 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 04R was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 134 kt; touchdown occurred 887 ft down the runway at 130 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 161 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local conditions were 63 °F, wind 2 kt from 86°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,854 ft, representing 32 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required four minutes and less than 1 nm of ground travel.
In total, the flight covered 1,404nm, lasted 210 minutes, and consumed 16,932 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 conducted the final approach to runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport, descending from 1,314 ft agl to 7 ft agl in 109 seconds. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the centreline, and the flight was scored on the stabilisation gates; local conditions were 63 °F with a 2 kt wind from 86°, including a 2 kt crosswind and 1 kt headwind.
At threshold the aircraft achieved a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 134 kt. The flare proceeded without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 887 ft down the runway, a distance judged good, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt described as a little fast and a touchdown rate of -161 fpm considered good. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance measured 2,854 ft, representing 32 % of the 8,851 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was perfect throughout the remaining ground roll.
Maintain centreline discipline on the final approach to eliminate the off-centreline condition and trim speed slightly below the 130 kt touchdown value to match the target, which will further tighten the already strong score of 94.8 %.
