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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 46 kt FAST on the reference speed of 141 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,690 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 365 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from EGGD Bristol Airport, where it rolled out on runway 27, covering 862 meters or 46% of the runway's length, before lifting off at a speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 230°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead EGGD Bristol Airport, reaching a height of 6,006 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of enroute climbs and descents, with notable increases in altitude including a climb from 6,007 feet to 35,483 feet above sea level, covering 161 nautical miles in 21 minutes. The aircraft also experienced several periods of level cruise, including a 12-minute cruise at 9 miles north-west of Grand-Fort-Philippe, covering 96 nautical miles.
The aircraft began its final approach to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport from the north-east, descending from 4,007 feet above sea level to 1,473 feet above sea level in just 4 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 367 meters, slightly exceeding the threshold speed of 140 knots. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 454 nautical miles, taking 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,958 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 233.0° at 4 nm and 1,333 ft above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height was well managed, allowing for a good threshold speed of 140 kt. The aircraft touched down at a distance of 367 m, which was within the acceptable range.
However, the touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly higher than the ideal speed, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -411 fpm. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and wind at 12 kt from 170°, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,442 m, which accounted for 60% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 98.0%, reflecting the good approach quality, controlled touchdown, and precise rollout alignment, despite the slight deviations in touchdown speed and position.
