Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,870 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,499 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 737-700, then departed from runway 06 at SVMT Maturín Airport in Venezuela. The takeoff distance was 3,008 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Maturín Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 84°F temperature and winds of 4 knots at 79°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,408 feet above sea level to 10,260 feet, an increase of 8,852 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles east of Maturín Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 10 miles northwest of SVLM Las Flores Airport, where it climbed from 10,292 feet to 35,662 feet, an increase of 25,370 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles southeast of Barcelona and lasted for 41 minutes, covering 312 nautical miles. As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent phase, which started 18 miles southwest of SVHH Churuguara Airport. The descent from 36,033 feet to 2,066 feet took 17 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles south of SVMC La Chinita International Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03L at La Chinita International Airport was made from the south, heading 23.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,053 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,493 feet, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -432 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 95°F temperature and winds of 3 knots at 70°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,977 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 553 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 90 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 7,804 pounds.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at La Chinita International Airport, specifically on runway 03L, with a score of 96.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,053 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 kt, registering at 134 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 1,493 ft was deemed good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and slow down effectively. The touchdown speed of 123 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -432 fpm was considered hard, which may have been a result of the slightly fast touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 95°F and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 70°.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 kt, while the headwind component was also 2 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing, with the total landing distance of 3,977 ft being 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and slow down effectively after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft scoring 96.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown rate, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the landing was characterized by a good threshold height, perfect runway touchdown alignment, and a smooth rollout.
