Slow down earlier
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,401 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,401 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 178 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 10 at SCIP Mataveri Airport, located on Isla De Pascua in the Region de Valparaiso, Chile. The takeoff distance was 977 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 89°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead SCIP Mataveri Airport and continued for 30 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,293 feet above sea level to 38,123 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 191 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began at a latitude of -26.767267 and a longitude of -112.9684731, lasting for 334 minutes and covering a distance of 1,720 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 13 miles southeast of NTGH Hikueru Airport in Hikueru, French Polynesia. The descent from 38,019 feet above sea level to 1,129 feet above sea level took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at NTGM Makemo Airport was made from the southeast, heading 303.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,101 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 178 meters and a touchdown speed of 117 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -353 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 59°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 660 meters, accounting for 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 2,009 nautical miles, lasting 342 minutes and consuming 11,396 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at NTGM Makemo Airport, with a final approach from the south east at a heading of 303.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,101 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The landing was executed on runway 29, which has a length of 1,401 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had a good control over the aircraft's speed during the final approach. The touchdown distance of 178 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had a good control over the aircraft's descent rate.
However, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -353 feet per minute (fpm). This may have caused some stress on the aircraft's landing gear and could potentially lead to wear and tear on the components.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted in some difficulties during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 59°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 660 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted in some difficulties during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the pilot's performance.
