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 46 kt FAST on the reference speed of 122 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,698 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 424 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at KGEG Spokane International Airport, a movement that required 4 minutes and covered 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 21, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,006 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and lifted off at 138 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 20 °C, wind 4 kt from 229 °, with a 3 kt headwind and no crosswind.
Climb began overhead KGEG, with the airplane ascending from 3,349 ft asl to 41,005 ft asl, a gain of 37,656 ft achieved in 40 minutes while covering 309 nm.
The first level cruise commenced 12 miles north west of MT07 Langhus Airstrip, Melville, Montana, and persisted for 164 minutes, during which 1,372 nm were flown.
Descent started 5 miles north east of Dante, Virginia, with altitude decreasing from 40,991 ft asl to 3,241 ft asl, a loss of 37,751 ft over 18 minutes and a distance of 130 nm.
A brief level cruise followed overhead Lake Wylie, South Carolina, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
Subsequent descent began 1 mile east of Tega Cay, South Carolina, reducing altitude from 3,008 ft asl to 2,033 ft asl, a drop of 974 ft in 2 minutes and a distance of 8 nm.
Final approach to runway 36R at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport was executed, descending from 1,332 ft agl to 47 ft agl in 101 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
The aircraft touched down on runway 36R, whose length is 2,698 m, with a threshold speed of 126 kt. Touchdown occurred 425 m from the threshold at a speed of 117 kt and a vertical rate of minus 120 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 872 m, representing 32 % of the runway. Local weather reported temperature 17 °C, wind 6 kt from 25 °, with a 5 kt headwind and 3 kt crosswind.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft remained aligned throughout the deceleration phase.
After landing, the airplane taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,833 nm, required 232 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 9,068 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 conducted the final approach to runway 36R at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport under a temperature of 17 °C and a wind of 6 kt from 025°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF, and the aircraft descended from 1,332 ft AGL to 47 ft AGL in 101 seconds, receiving a score on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 126 kt. The flare proceeded without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 425 m down the runway, with a good touchdown speed of 117 kt and a smooth vertical rate of -120 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance measured 872 m, representing 32 % of the 2,698 m runway length.
Rollout alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.
To improve the already high score of 97.5 %, the crew should ensure the approach speed is within VREF by the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stabilised approach. Maintaining target speed will reduce the need for speed corrections later in the descent and support consistent touchdown performance.
