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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,776 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 345 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 area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 33 at KSHR Sheridan County Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,206 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -0°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots blowing from a direction of 325°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSHR Sheridan County Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,985 feet above sea level to 38,981 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,996 feet, in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 223 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northeast of WY48 Kirkwood Field Cheyenne. This phase lasted for 73 minutes and covered a distance of 874 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles north of Cottonport, Louisiana. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,603 feet above sea level to 1,300 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,304 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at KNEW Lakefront Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18R, which had a length of 1,776 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was 344 meters, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -386 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots blowing from a direction of 10°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,036 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing from the runway to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,223 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 128 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,254 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at KNEW Lakefront Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 18R was executed with precision, resulting in a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots. This indicates that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and altitude, allowing for a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 344 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 10°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and control during the landing phase.
The touchdown rate of -386 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessive, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's descent rate and was able to control it effectively. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's position and alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,036 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. This indicates that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and control during the landing phase, and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's position and alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-900 at KNEW Lakefront Airport was a success, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and control during the landing phase was evident, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
