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.

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 1,881 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 215 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at EPRZ Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,494 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots at 189 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 21 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead EPRJ Rzeszów Sports Airfield Nowa Wieś. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,705 feet above sea level to 34,564 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,859 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting overhead Psary in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. This phase of the flight lasted for 108 minutes and covered a distance of 727 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Billericay in Essex, England. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,204 feet above sea level to 1,861 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,343 feet.
The final approach to runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 285.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which has a length of 1,881 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 147 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 214 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -290 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots at 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The total landing distance was 961 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 944 nautical miles and took 167 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 6,480 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at EGGD Bristol Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 285.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 147 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 knots, while the headwind component was significant at 20 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 961 meters was 51% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
