Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,690 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 758 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at CYFC Fredericton Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,131 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 189°.
As the aircraft climbed out of CYFC Fredericton Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb took 37 minutes and covered a distance of 251 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,096 feet above sea level to 38,964 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,868 feet. The enroute level cruise then began approximately 36 miles southeast of CRB5 Rivière Bell Aerodrome, and it lasted for 112 minutes, covering a distance of 1,596 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started approximately 7 miles southeast of Hvanneyri, Iceland, and it took 19 minutes to descend from an altitude of 38,729 feet above sea level to 1,826 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,903 feet. The descent covered a distance of 112 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 01 at BIAR Akureyri Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 358.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,791 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 01 at BIAR Akureyri Airport was successful, with a touchdown point located 341 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 170°.
The total landing distance was 1,274 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,966 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 174 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,211 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at BIAR Akureyri Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 358.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,791 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 341 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,274 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and flare technique to achieve a more precise touchdown.
