Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 219 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22 at London Stansted Airport (EGSS). The takeoff distance was 1,551 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile south east of Birchanger, Essex, England, and ascended from an altitude of 1,342 feet above sea level to 3,901 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,559 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Little Hadham, Hertfordshire, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb approximately 1 mile south of Barkway, Hertfordshire, England, and ascended from 3,907 feet above sea level to 33,828 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,921 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles south of Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, England, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 264 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent approximately 1 mile south of Billy-Chevannes, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France, and descended from 33,644 feet above sea level to 2,466 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,178 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport (LFLB) was made from the north, heading 177.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,669 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 1,651 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 219 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -535 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 183 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,113 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 484 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,770 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 18 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 177.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,669 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -535 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very hard, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher-than-desired vertical velocity. This could be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed, which may have resulted in a more aggressive descent. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 183°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,113 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good threshold height and a reasonable touchdown speed. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's landing technique.
