Be on speed by the gate
See Arrival Approach
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: sink rate 1,767 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 17 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 147 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 22 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 147 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 3,342 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 600 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London City Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a local temperature of 17 °C and a gentle tailwind of 2 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 09, achieving liftoff speed of 155 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,364 m, which was 102% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed out of London, it began its enroute climb from 1,228 ft above sea level to 2,937 ft, an increase of 1,709 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb continued in stages, with the aircraft reaching a cruising altitude of 19,448 ft above sea level after a climb from 2,949 ft, an increase of 16,499 ft in 7 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude for 10 minutes as it covered 60 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 19,422 ft to 3,406 ft in 12 minutes, covering 63 nautical miles. The final approach to Brussels Airport was made from the south-west, with the aircraft touching down on runway 07L after a total landing distance of 1,432 m, which was 47% of the runway length.
The landing was completed with a touchdown speed of 118 kt, which was within the target range, and a touchdown rate of -229 fts, which was considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 185 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,087 kg of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 45 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 07L at EBBR Brussels Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 132 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or configuration. The touchdown point was 210 m beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting a slightly long touchdown, but the touchdown speed of 118 kt was within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -229 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 270 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,432 m, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was scored 92.1%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations from the ideal.
