Be on speed by the gate
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 8,983 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,001 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 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in 15 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L, the takeoff run measured 3,110 ft, representing 35 % of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at 142 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 75 °F, wind 8 kt at 280 °, crosswind 5 kt and headwind 7 kt.
The initial climb commenced overhead LEBL, climbing from 1,025 ft asl to 24,998 ft asl, an increase of 23,973 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 79 nm.
The first cruise segment began 25 miles south east of Santa Susanna, lasted 20 minutes and encompassed 164 nm.
A second climb started 20 miles south of Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, rising from 25,001 ft asl to 33,976 ft asl, an increase of 8,975 ft in 8 minutes and covering 68 nm.
The subsequent cruise phase originated 4 miles south east of Antibes, persisted for 8 minutes and spanned 66 nm.
Descent operations began 2 miles east of Varigotti, descending from 34,001 ft asl to 1,989 ft asl, a loss of 32,013 ft over 24 minutes and covering 130 nm.
Final approach to runway 28 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport proceeded from 1,237 ft agl to 32 ft agl in 118 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 28 was executed with a threshold speed of 128 kt; touchdown occurred at 1,001 ft from the threshold at 124 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 224 fpm and very good runway alignment; runway length is 8,983 ft, temperature was 70 °F, wind 8 kt at 280 °, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 8 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,344 ft, representing 48 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 515 nm, lasted 87 minutes and consumed 9,629 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 executed a stabilised approach to runway 28 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Descent was measured from 1,237 ft agl to 32 ft agl over 118 seconds and the approach received a stabilisation-gate score contributing to the overall 96.8 % rating.
At the threshold the aircraft held a good height and reduced speed to the target 128 kt, both recorded as good. The flare was initiated at the appropriate height, preserving the stabilised parameters established during the approach.
Touchdown occurred 1,001 ft down the runway at a speed of 124 kt, both judged good, with a touchdown rate of minus 224 fpm rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and the total landing distance measured 4,344 ft, representing 48 % of the 8,983 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was perfect, allowing the aircraft to decelerate safely within the remaining runway length under the prevailing weather of temperature 70 °F, wind 8 kt at 280°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 8 kt.
To refine an already strong performance, focus on reducing the touchdown sink rate to achieve a smoother landing, and fine-tune flare timing to maintain the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
