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 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 249 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 27 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 967 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The climb took 35 minutes and covered a distance of 248 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,019 feet above sea level to 39,148 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,129 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile west of Konigsbach-Stein in Germany. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began overhead Walchwil in Switzerland. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 39,240 feet above sea level to 2,021 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,219 feet.
The final approach to runway 18 at LIML Milano Linate Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 176.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,644 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 2,447 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 252 meters, but the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -357 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 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 817 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 466 nautical miles and took 73 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,658 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Milano Linate Airport, achieving a score of 98.5%. The final approach to runway 18 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,644 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 knots. The touchdown distance of 252 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing parameters.
The aircraft's descent rate was firm, at -357 feet per minute, which is consistent with a controlled and stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 817 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good approach and landing performance.
