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 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 247 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,591 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -0°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Dawidy in the Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 139 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,359 feet above sea level to 36,968 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,610 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles north-east of Chrzastowo in the Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. This cruise phase lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 314 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south-west of Huellhorst in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The descent took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 150 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,940 feet above sea level to 1,989 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,952 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Warmond in the Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands. This cruise phase was brief, lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, approaching from the south-west at a heading of 58.0° and at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 150 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good at 245 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 70°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,381 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 616 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 48 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,275 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 245 meters was considered good, indicating a well-executed landing.
The touchdown speed of 150 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -320 feet per minute (fpm). This is a relatively high rate, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the aircraft's performance or safety. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and that the pilot had successfully managed the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 16 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,381 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management during the approach and landing phases.
