Keep the wings level on final
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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01 at SARP Libertador Gral D Jose De San Martin Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,195 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17°C and winds of 5 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,262 feet above sea level to 39,045 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,782 feet in 45 minutes, covering 325 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 5 miles southeast of Jandaia do Sul, a city in Parana, Brazil, and lasted for 116 minutes, covering 875 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 7 miles north of SJIR Engenheiro Joaquim Martins Airport in Iramaia, Bahia, Brazil. The descent from 39,308 feet above sea level to 1,344 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,964 feet in 15 minutes, covered 143 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at SBSV Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport was made from the west, heading 78.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a runway length of 2,990 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 140 knots. The touchdown distance was 403 meters, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was also good at -181 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26°C and winds of 5 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 903 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 1 minute to taxi to the parking, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,349 nautical miles, which was covered in 180 minutes. The aircraft used 7,859 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at SBSV Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 10 from the west was executed at a heading of 78.0°, with the aircraft at an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a safe and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 129 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 140 knots. The touchdown distance of 403 meters was also well within the expected range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions allowed the pilots to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 903 meters was only 30% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
