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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,577 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,577 m of the 2,753 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 06 at LTAB Güvercinlik Airport, a small airport located in Ankara, Turkey. The takeoff distance was 1,145 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 55°.
As the aircraft climbed out of LTAB Güvercinlik Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 145 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,692 feet above sea level to 37,015 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,323 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 11 miles south of LTYE Aksaray Airport Yesilova, another airport located in Aksaray, Turkey. The level cruise lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 87 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, which started 10 miles southwest of Guezeloluk, a location in Mersin, Turkey. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,004 feet above sea level to 1,668 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,336 feet. The final approach to runway 29 at LCEN Nicosia (Lefkoşa) Ercan International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 305.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 29 at LCEN Nicosia (Lefkoşa) Ercan International Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,753 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was 406 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,484 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 347 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 57 minutes. The aircraft used 2,647 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LCEN Nicosia (Lefkoşa) Ercan International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south east, heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 29 was executed with a high degree of precision, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed of 140 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 406 meters was also satisfactory, suggesting that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's rate of descent.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown speed, which was recorded at 134 knots. This was slightly faster than the recommended speed, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute (fpm) was also fair, indicating that the pilots had managed to control the aircraft's descent rate effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilots were able to execute the approach and landing with a high degree of precision.
The total landing distance of 1,484 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate, and that the landing was executed with a high degree of precision. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LCEN Nicosia (Lefkoşa) Ercan International Airport was a successful one, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the pilots' approach and landing procedures.
