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: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,034 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 08 at CYYR Goose Bay Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,050 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of CYYR Goose Bay Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,170 feet above sea level to 38,432 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,262 feet, in 37 minutes and covering a distance of 312 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 145 minutes and covered a distance of 1,739 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a latitude of 53.1476224 and a longitude of -51.6653155. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting at a latitude of 41.6519212 and a longitude of -11.5961376, and descended from an altitude of 39,068 feet above sea level to 3,221 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,847 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, starting 1 mile south west of Esposende, Distrito de Braga, Portugal. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south east of Estela, Distrito do Porto, Portugal, and descended from an altitude of 3,160 feet above sea level to 1,346 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,815 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport was made from the north, heading 169.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,133 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a touchdown rate of -55 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 964 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,196 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 215 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,521 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 17 was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,133 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. The threshold speed of 127 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 437 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 120 knots, which was within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown rate of -55 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent to achieve a smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot, who successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 964 meters was 32% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's deceleration after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-600 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with standard operating procedures.
