Hold the approach angle
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 2,567 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 580 m past the threshold — beyond 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 06R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 31 meters, which was 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Inglewood, California, and ascended from an altitude of 1,135 feet above sea level to 37,556 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,421 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Alpaugh, California, and lasted for 197 minutes, covering a distance of 1,402 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 17 miles south of AA12 Dove Island Lodge Seaplane Base, Sitka, Alaska, and descended from 36,794 feet above sea level to 1,815 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,979 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Juneau International Airport (PAJN) was made from the west, heading 105.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,771 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 2,567 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. However, the touchdown point was 155 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -349 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 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The total landing distance was 1,263 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,636 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 252 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,977 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at PAJN Juneau International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 105.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,771 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth landing on runway 08, which has a length of 2,567 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's control and precision. However, the touchdown point was 155 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a slightly fast approach speed.
The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to the aircraft landing beyond the touchdown zone. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -349 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, showing that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they were successfully managed.
The total landing distance was 1,263 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a controlled and efficient approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the desired path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as maintaining a more accurate touchdown speed and ensuring a more precise runway rollout alignment.
