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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 37 kt FAST on the reference speed of 134 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 20 kt FAST on the reference speed of 134 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,546 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,546 ft of the 9,424 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,802 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, the Boeing 737-900 initiated its taxiing sequence from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 15L, the aircraft began its departure roll, utilizing 6,959 feet of the available runway, which equated to 58% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots, as it transitioned into the climb phase.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,089 feet above sea level to 34,857 feet, it covered a distance of 113 nautical miles in 18 minutes, achieving an impressive increase of 33,768 feet in altitude. The enroute climb phase concluded 1 mile south of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise phase. This phase lasted 51 minutes and covered a distance of 391 nautical miles, as the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 34,857 feet. The descent phase commenced 63 miles southeast of Galveston, Texas, and lasted 22 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 34,513 feet to 1,300 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the destination, MMMD Aeropuerto Internacional Manuel Crescencio Rejón, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 10, aligning itself with the runway from the west at a heading of 105.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down 457 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 141 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was good at -166 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 5,301 feet, accounting for 56% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 7 minutes. The total flight distance was 640 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 116 minutes and a fuel consumption of 10,314 pounds.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 10 at MMMD Aeropuerto Internacional Manuel Crescencio Rejón with a satisfactory approach quality, despite a slightly above-target threshold speed of 148 kt. The aircraft maintained a good height over the threshold, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. The touchdown point was 457 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 141 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -166 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 82 °F and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind of 4 kt from the side did not pose a significant challenge.
The total landing distance of 5,301 ft was 56% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 98.8% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed.
