A B737-300 WAS TURNED IN HIGH AT SFO AND MADE AN UNSTABILIZED APCH TO A SAFE LNDG.

Narrative

UPON ARR INTO SFO; THE CAPT WAS THE PF AND I WAS THE PNF. WE WERE AT 11000 FT WHEN THE APCH CTLR ADVISED US THAT WE COULD EXPECT A 12 MI FINAL FOR NOISE ABATEMENT TO RWY 28L. WE WERE IN A DSCNT OUT OF 11000 FT DOWN TO 7000 FT WHEN THE APCH CTLR TURNED US ON A BASE EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. AS A RESULT; WE WERE HIGH. THE CAPT CONFIGURED TO A FINAL LNDG CONFIGN OF 30 DEGS FLAPS. HE WENT TO FLAPS 40 DEGS FOR A TIME BUT THEN BACK TO 30 DEGS FLAPS BEFORE 1000 FT. AT 1000 FT; WE WERE SLIGHTLY HIGH AND FAST. AT 500 FT WE WERE STILL SLIGHTLY HIGH AND FAST. I CALLED 'AIRSPD.' THE CAPT DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE APCH TO A LNDG. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT WE WERE GOING TO MAKE THE LNDG WITHIN THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE SO I FELT THE LNDG WAS SAFE AND DID NOT OBJECT. THE CAPT LANDED AT THE END OF THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE. USING ABOUT 85% REVERSE THRUST AND MODERATE MANUAL BRAKING; HE SLOWED BELOW 60 KIAS AND TOOK HIGH SPD TXWY T. WE WERE ON THE SECOND DAY OF A 4 DAY TRIP; OF WHICH THE FIRST 2 DAYS INCLUDED 4 LEGS AND ALMOST 8 HRS OF FLYING PER DAY. I BELIEVE THAT FATIGUE PLAYED A ROLE. THE CONDITIONS WERE VISUAL; DRY AND NO WIND. THE APCH WAS A VISUAL APCH AND THE LNDG WAS ON A LONG; DRY RWY AND I FELT SINCE WE WERE GOING TO MAKE THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE THAT THE LNDG WAS SAFE.
