Keep the wings level on final
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 five checks, where the approach path is 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 3,047 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 24L at KLAX, a movement that required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 691 m, representing 23 % of the runway, and lifted off at 135 kt. Ambient conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 190°, a crosswind component of 2 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead KLAX, with the airplane ascending from 1,068 ft asl to 40,470 ft asl, an altitude gain of 39,402 ft achieved in 48 minutes while covering 340 nm.
Level cruise began 4 mi east of Prescott, Arizona, and persisted for 93 minutes, during which the flight traversed 739 nm.
Descent was initiated 4 mi north-east of OK50 Traynor Ranch Airport, Waukomis, Oklahoma, descending from 41,018 ft asl to 1,824 ft asl, a loss of 39,194 ft in 12 minutes and spanning 82 nm.
The final approach to runway 18L at KTUL approached from the north, on a heading of 183.0°, at 4 nm distance and 1,187 ft above ground level.
Landing on runway 18L at KTUL, whose length is 3,047 m, featured a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 kt. Touchdown occurred 453 m down the runway at 115 kt with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 120 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, a crosswind of 1 kt and no headwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 888 m, equivalent to 29 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,167 nm, taking 160, and consumed 6,422 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 entered the final approach to runway 18L at KTUL Tulsa International Airport from the north on a heading of 183.0° at 4 nm and 1,187 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 129 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 453 m, touchdown speed at 115 kt was good, and touchdown rate was smooth at minus 120 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft touched down with the reported parameters and maintained the very good alignment through the touchdown phase. The total landing distance was 888 m, representing 29 % of the 3,047 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 98.1 % the landing was excellent; the only notable deviation was the threshold speed being slightly above target, so a modest reduction in approach speed would bring the speed closer to the desired value. Maintaining the current precision in alignment and flare timing will preserve the high overall performance.
