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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 241 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25 at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,521 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 89 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,009 feet above sea level to 22,385 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,376 feet in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. This phase took place 47 miles southwest of Fiumicino, Italy. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 48 miles east of Golfo Aranci, Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 21,909 feet above sea level to 3,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,879 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase took place 15 miles east of Golfo Aranci, Italy. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 4 miles east of Golfo Aranci, Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,002 feet above sea level to 1,259 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,743 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 235.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,206 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 111 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 237 meters, and the touchdown speed was 110 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -286 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 230 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,241 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 139 nautical miles, and the flight took 46 minutes, using 1,945 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 235.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,206 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 110 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 111 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 237 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -286 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a slightly more stable rate of descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was found to be slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 3 kt from 230°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,241 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a halt. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the final approach and touchdown phases.
