See Arrival Final 4
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.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,637 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 259 ft 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,342 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 160°.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The climb took 17 minutes and covered 91 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,140 feet above sea level to 33,737 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,597 feet. The enroute level cruise started 16 miles southwest of Cameron, Louisiana, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 12 miles southeast of Cameron, Louisiana. The climb took 3 minutes and covered 24 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 34,358 feet above sea level to 36,421 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,063 feet. The enroute level cruise started 10 miles southeast of the LA12 Louisiana State Police Troop B Helipad Heliport in Kenner, Louisiana, and lasted 76 minutes, covering 563 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles west of Manasota Key, Florida. The descent took 25 minutes and covered 131 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,360 feet above sea level to 1,284 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,076 feet. The final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at 11 feet above ground level due to an unknown reason. The aircraft then landed on runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport, with the runway length being 11,637 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 252 feet, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -230 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centerline, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 139°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 4,044 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 848 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 146 minutes. The aircraft used 14,145 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 141 knots, registering at 130 knots. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 252 feet. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate rate of descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline. This deviation may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 139°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,044 feet was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good performance in various aspects of the landing.
