See Arrival Final 2
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: off the runway's 6° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 6° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,871 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 294 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 796 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 249°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Aalsmeerderbrug, a location in the province of Noord-Holland, Netherlands. The climb started from an altitude of 954 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 30,972 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,018 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Awans, a location in Wallonia, Belgium, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The descent phase started 1 mile west of Flavigny-sur-Moselle, a location in the Grand Est region of France. The descent was from an altitude of 30,494 feet above sea level to 2,244 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,250 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 198 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at LSGS Sion Airport was made from the east, heading 252.0° at an altitude of 660 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 25, which has a length of 1,871 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 125 knots. The touchdown distance was 291 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 120 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 726 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 434 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. The aircraft used 3,377 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at Sion Airport (LSGS) on runway 25, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 660 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 125 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent and minimal impact on the aircraft's landing gear.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 726 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in conducting a safe and controlled landing at Sion Airport.
