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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 336 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 06 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 06, the Boeing 737-700 used 1,381 m of runway, representing 39 % of the available length, and lifted off at 146 kt; ambient temperature was 29 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 110°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead RPLL, ascending from 999 ft asl to 38,815 ft asl, an increase of 37,816 ft achieved in 43 minutes while covering 321 nm.
Cruise began at latitude 14.4863272 and longitude 126.5407424, persisting for 291 minutes and traversing 2,257 nm.
Descent started 67 miles west of PWAK Wake Island Airfield, descending from 38,869 ft asl to 1,819 ft asl, a loss of 37,050 ft in 10 minutes and covering 64 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at PWAK proceeded from 1,892 ft agl to 34 ft agl in 95 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 10, which is 2,998 m long, featured a threshold speed of 122 kt, a touchdown distance of 337 m, a touchdown speed of 113 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 180 fpm; the touchdown point was offset by 5.2 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C, wind 10 kt from 50°, a 7 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 765 m, equal to 26 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 2,649 nm, took 351 minutes, and consumed 14,188 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 conducted its final approach to runway 10 at PWAK Wake Island Airfield, descending from 1,892 ft AGL to 34 ft AGL in 95 seconds. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being off the glideslope and more than 20 kt above VREF, and the aircraft was scored on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft achieved a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 122 kt. The flare produced a touchdown distance of 337 m, a touchdown speed of 113 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 180 fpm, with the touchdown point only slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 765 m, representing 26 % of the 2,998 m runway.
Touchdown parameters remained within the good range, with the aircraft touching down at the indicated speed and rate and the lateral offset limited to 5.2 m. The landing consumed 765 m of runway, well within the available length, and the overall landing score was 92.0 %.
Rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the remaining runway distance. Local conditions were 27 °C temperature, a 10 kt wind from 050°, comprising a 7 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind component.
Future flights should focus on achieving a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate, maintaining glideslope and speed within limits, and correcting lateral drift to keep centreline deviation below 5 m. These adjustments will help convert the already strong 92 % score into an even higher performance.
