Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,096 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 336 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey with a taxiing period of four minutes, covering a distance of one nautical mile. As it reached the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 04, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 136 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,058 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway, was achieved in a smooth and efficient manner.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed a distance of 264 nautical miles, increasing its altitude by 39,652 feet in 35 minutes. The climb phase concluded overhead the Islas Del Cisne Airport, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise phase. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 40,696 feet for 94 minutes, covering a distance of 742 nautical miles. Subsequently, the enroute descent phase commenced, where the aircraft descended from 41,000 feet to 1,905 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 194 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Punta Cana International Airport was executed from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 85.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,859 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 339 meters, a touchdown speed of 118 knots, and a touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following a taxiing period of one minute, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,207 nautical miles in 164 minutes, utilizing 6,776 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down smoothly on runway 09 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 125 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it maintained a consistent touchdown speed of 118 kt, resulting in a touchdown rate of -192 fpm, which was well within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were equally impressive, with a touchdown distance of 339 m, indicating a precise control of the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 760 m, which accounted for only 25% of the runway length, was a clear indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and descent rate. Overall, the landing was a credit to the pilot's skill and experience, earning a score of 98.9%.
