Be on speed by the gate
See Arrival Approach
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 161 kt with 7.7° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 188 kt, 9 kt over its 179 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 880 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 4,598 ft of runway left; gear up at 29 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,470 fpm on average to 880 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 10,994 ft runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 16 ft left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 43 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 60 ft under).
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 14× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 90 ft off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 31 at LMML Malta International Airport in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 31, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 4,783 ft, representing 44 % of the runway, and lifted off at 160 kt. Ambient conditions were 76 °F with a wind of 9 kt from 279°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Luqa, Malta, with the aeroplane climbing from 1,220 ft asl to 33,534 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,315 ft achieved in 23 minutes while covering 156 nm.
Cruise began approximately 1 mile north of LICT Vincenzo Florio Airport (Trapani-Birgi, TP, Italy) and continued for 157 minutes, during which the flight covered 1,201 nm at level altitude.
Descent was initiated 39 miles south-east of Ardmore, Munster, Ireland, with a reduction from 34,000 ft asl to 1,245 ft asl, a loss of 32,754 ft over 20 minutes and a distance of 113 nm.
The final approach to runway 24 at EINN Shannon Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 232.0° at 4 nm and 1,195 ft agl, followed by a descent from 1,278 ft agl to the surface in 100 seconds. Weather at the time was 73 °F with a wind of 8 kt from 280°, comprising a 6 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind component; the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 24, which is 10,002 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 138 kt. Touchdown occurred at 721 ft down the runway at 136 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 212 fpm and a lateral deviation of 14 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 4,238 ft, equivalent to 42 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,484 nm, required 225 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 16,588 lb of fuel.
