Hold the approach angle
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,865 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,172 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, with a takeoff distance of 3,110 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Lijnden, a town located in the province of Noord-Holland, The Netherlands. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,059 feet above sea level to 37,584 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,525 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Heiligenhaus, a town located in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. This phase lasted for 49 minutes and covered a distance of 376 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles north of Bosco Chiesanuova, a town located in the region of Veneto, Italy. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,338 feet above sea level to 12,479 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,858 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Lonigo, a town located in the region of Veneto, Italy. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile northwest of Gambellara, a town located in the region of Veneto, Italy. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 12,296 feet above sea level to 3,794 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,502 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Agna, a town located in the region of Veneto, Italy. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Arzergrande, a town located in the region of Veneto, Italy. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,797 feet above sea level to 1,236 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,561 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,208 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 04R, which had a length of 10,865 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,175 feet, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -149 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 44 degrees Fahrenheit,
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 04R was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 42.0° and maintaining a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,208 feet above ground level (agl), the pilots expertly guided the aircraft towards a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots, which is well within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 1,175 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was equally impressive, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing phase.
The landing rate of -149 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth and controlled, indicating that the pilots had successfully arrested the aircraft's descent and brought it to a gentle stop on the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning itself precisely with the centerline of the runway. This is a testament to the pilots' skill and attention to detail during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 44°F and a gentle headwind of 8 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot, which made the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful. The total landing distance of 3,145 feet was 29% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had managed to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its alignment with the centerline of the runway as it came to a stop. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft is safely positioned on the runway and can be easily taxied to the gate. Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was a textbook example of safe and controlled flight, with the pilots demonstrating exceptional skill and attention to detail throughout the landing phase.
