See Arrival Final 3
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 147 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field. The takeoff distance was 1,370 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and winds of 5 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of University Park, Texas, and involved a significant ascent from 1,514 feet above sea level to 35,883 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,369 feet in 14 minutes and covering 125 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of KFON Foreman Airport in Foreman, Texas. This phase lasted 19 minutes and covered a distance of 412 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles southwest of Raymond, Illinois, and involved a descent from 35,329 feet above sea level to 1,457 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,872 feet in 25 minutes and covering 175 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 223.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 839 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22L, which had a length of 1,611 meters, was successful, with a threshold height that was good and a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 146 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 145 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -236 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 250 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 836 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 719 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4,956 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 839 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 146 knots. The touchdown distance of 145 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a moderate headwind of 7 knots. The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, which contributed to a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The aircraft's rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing.
The total landing distance of 836 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with only minor deviations from the target values.
