See Arrival Final 2
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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,936 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 376 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 12 at EKVG Vágar Airport, located in the Faroe Islands. The takeoff distance was 1,122 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 129°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of EKVG Vágar Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile south east of the airport. The climb took 44 minutes and covered a distance of 302 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,172 feet above sea level to 38,682 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,510 feet. The enroute level cruise then began approximately 13 miles north east of Saint Combs in Scotland, and lasted for 107 minutes, covering a distance of 791 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started approximately 2 miles south east of Kaunertal in Austria, and took 24 minutes to descend from an altitude of 38,998 feet above sea level to 1,960 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,037 feet. The descent covered a distance of 180 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at LDPL Pula Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at an altitude of 1,669 feet above ground level, approximately 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 09 at LDPL Pula Airport was characterized by a runway length of 2,936 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 177 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 372 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 168 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -59 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 140°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,208 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,279 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 179 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,185 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LDPL Pula Airport, achieving a high score of 94.5%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,669 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,936 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 177 knots, which may indicate that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing.
Despite the high threshold speed, the touchdown distance was good at 372 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 168 knots was too fast, which may have resulted in a longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -59 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,208 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it rolled out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as the high threshold speed and the fast touchdown speed. However, the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control, and the rollout alignment was excellent.
