Be on speed by the gate
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: speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 139 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 1,936 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 316 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Dublin Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 28R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 947-meter stretch of the runway that comprised 30% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 151 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off the ground, taking advantage of the 5-knot headwind that was blowing in from the northwest.
As the aircraft climbed away from Dublin Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,198 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 30,979 feet. This climb phase, which lasted 15 minutes and covered a distance of 90 nautical miles, saw the aircraft increase its altitude by a significant 29,781 feet. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it maintained a steady altitude and airspeed for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 285 nautical miles. The cruise phase came to an end as the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south of Les Forges in France. Over the course of 27 minutes and 133 nautical miles, the aircraft descended from 30,998 feet to 1,560 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 09, aligning itself with the runway from the west. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots and a distance of 316 meters. The touchdown rate was a respectable -148 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 517 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,596 kilograms of fuel over the course of the 99-minute flight.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 09 at LFBH La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -148 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was a little fast at 132 kt, but this did not compromise the overall quality of the landing. The threshold height was good, allowing the pilots to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface.
As the aircraft rolled out, it remained perfectly aligned with the centreline, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The total landing distance of 1,223 m was 83% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between touchdown distance and rollout performance. The threshold speed of 136 kt was also well-managed, allowing the pilots to maintain control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
The approach quality was good, with a heading of 92.0° and a distance of 4 nm from the runway threshold at 1,476 ft agl. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 96.0%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilots throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
