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: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 292 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 16L at OTHH Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. The takeoff distance was 965 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Doha, the enroute climb started 1 mile south east of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,029 feet above sea level to 37,258 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,230 feet in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 197 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 45 miles south of OENR Nariya Airport in Saudi Arabia and lasted for 378 minutes, covering a distance of 2,634 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile west of Cheshunt in England, where it descended from 38,048 feet above sea level to 1,564 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,484 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at EGNX East Midlands Airport was made from the east, heading 268.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft went around at 758 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 27, with a runway length of 2,580 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 126 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 294 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 116 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -95 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 277°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,918 nautical miles, taking 433 minutes, and the aircraft used 17,388 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 27, achieving a score of 99.9%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 126 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 294 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 116 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 277°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the approach.
The total landing distance of 709 meters was 27% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout 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 successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good threshold height, a controlled touchdown, and a short rollout distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the precise and controlled approach, and the favorable weather conditions contributed to a smooth and safe landing.
