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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 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 2,982 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 431 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC), with a takeoff distance of 1,133 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 59 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Manchester Airport, where it climbed from 1,339 feet above sea level to 4,682 feet, an increase of 3,343 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Bredbury, a town in the Borough of Stockport, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 4,793 feet to 36,784 feet, an increase of 31,991 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. The climb continued until the aircraft reached a cruising altitude, where it remained for a significant period.
The enroute level cruise started 32 miles east of Beadnell, a town in Northumberland, England, and lasted for 137 minutes, covering a distance of 912 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles south of Hakkas, a town in Norrbotten County, Sweden. The descent from 34,748 feet to 1,889 feet took 20 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Rovaniemi Airport (EFRO) was made from the north-east, with a heading of 217.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,234 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 428 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 27 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 25 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. 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 1,176 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 195 minutes. The aircraft used 7,453 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EFRO Rovaniemi Airport, achieving a high score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north east, heading 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 428 meters, and the touchdown speed of 131 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly hard landing.
Despite the firm touchdown rate, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which may be a concern for the pilot and the airport authorities.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 27 knots from 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 25 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing. However, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft to achieve a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 962 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot made a good approach and touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control of the aircraft.
