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.

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 2,259 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 308 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 to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 29 at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 933 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 299 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport. The climb took 31 minutes and covered 237 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,165 feet above sea level to 39,216 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,051 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 8 miles south of Twentynine Palms, California. This cruise phase lasted 94 minutes and covered 857 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 11 miles southwest of Villa Union, Mexico. The descent took 16 minutes and covered 209 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 38,811 feet above sea level to 1,915 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,896 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles south of San Benito, Texas. This cruise phase lasted only 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Rancho Viejo, Texas. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 1,910 feet above sea level to 1,196 feet above sea level, a decrease of 713 feet.
The final approach to runway 13 at KBRO Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport was from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 136.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,165 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 307 meters and a touchdown speed of 128 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -300 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 188 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 786 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,321 nautical miles, taking 152 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,957 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at KBRO Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport, with a final approach score of 92.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 136.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,165 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 13, which has a length of 2,259 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and was on track for a smooth landing.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit more force than necessary.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, being 12.1 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind and pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 23°C and winds of 12 knots at 188°.
The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position. The total landing distance was 786 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, being 11.3 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including the pilot's reaction to the initial touchdown position and the aircraft's response to the brakes. Overall, while there were a few areas for improvement, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with a final approach score of 92.5%.
