Keep the wings level on final
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,716 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 358 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 began at Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport (DAAV) in Algeria. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. It then departed from runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 919 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots. The local weather at departure was 20°C with a light 2 knot wind coming from 170°, resulting in no significant crosswind or tailwind component.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,046 feet above sea level to 39,879 feet, covering a total vertical distance of 38,833 feet in 35 minutes and 262 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise took place over the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain, lasting 90 minutes and covering 991 nautical miles. Subsequently, the enroute descent started near Inveraray, Scotland, descending from 40,017 feet to 1,829 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The landing occurred at Benbecula Airport (EGPL) on runway 06, which has a length of 1,716 meters. The height at threshold was 30 feet above ground level, with a speed at threshold of 134 knots. The touchdown happened 359 meters from the threshold at a speed of 130 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -322 feet per minute. The local weather at the destination was 6°C with a 6 knot wind coming from 330°, resulting in a 5 knot crosswind component and no significant headwind.
Overall, the total landing distance was 847 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The total flight distance covered was 1,361 nautical miles over a duration of 147 minutes, consuming 8,227 kilograms of fuel.
