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.

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 1,317 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 578 m past the threshold — beyond 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29L at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport in Brasília, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,405 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 0°. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 4,497 feet above sea level to 37,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,512 feet in 29 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 214 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles east of SBLV Carmo do Paranaiba Airport in Carmo do Paranaiba, Brazil. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 146 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles south of Bom Sucesso in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The descent from 36,998 feet above sea level to 7,086 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,913 feet, took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Itaguai in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile southwest of SBIX Clube CÉU Airport in Itaguai, Brazil. The aircraft descended from 6,993 feet above sea level to 214 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,778 feet, in 9 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20L at SBRJ Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was made from the north, with a heading of 182.0° at 1 nautical mile and 196 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -199 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 120°. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,104 meters, which was 84% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 520 nautical miles, which was covered in 104 minutes. The aircraft used 5,186 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at SBRJ Santos Dumont Airport, achieving a score of 77.3%. The final approach to runway 20L was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 182.0° at 1 nautical mile and 196 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on the designated runway, which has a length of 1,317 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 135 knots, which may have been a minor deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown point was 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 123 knots was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe and controlled speed. The touchdown rate of -199 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 120°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and should not have had a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,104 meters, which is 84% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway as it rolled out after landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway touchdown alignment. However, the slightly below-target threshold speed and touchdown point beyond the touchdown zone may have been minor deviations from the ideal landing conditions.
