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.

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 2,521 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,334 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 319°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Bassussarry, France. The climb took 13 minutes and covered 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,074 feet above sea level to 33,335 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,260 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of LFWE Trie-sur-Baise Airport in Trie-sur-Baise, France. This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered 323 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Candiolo, Italy. The descent took 24 minutes and covered 95 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 33,678 feet above sea level to 2,513 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,165 feet.
The final approach to runway 10 at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base was made from the west, heading 105.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,711 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,521 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 151 knots. The touchdown point was 106 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 130°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,395 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 507 nautical miles and took 94 minutes, using 3,479 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 105.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,711 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 106 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much force during the landing. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a moderate headwind of 11 knots. The crosswind was relatively light at 5 knots, which made the landing even more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,395 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
