Be on speed by the gate
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 10 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 149 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 149 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,812 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,812 m of the 2,769 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.71 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kuwait International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey on runway 15R, taking off with a distance of 2,047 meters, which covered 60% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots, despite a slight headwind of 3 knots. As it departed the Kuwaiti airspace, the aircraft entered a climb phase, ascending from 1,188 feet above sea level to 33,310 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 23 miles north of Hafar Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia, and lasted for 78 minutes, covering 508 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 32,549 feet to 5,024 feet in 25 minutes, covering 116 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting only 3 minutes, as the aircraft approached its destination. The final descent phase started 1 mile north-east of Shefayim, Israel, and ended with a landing on runway 21 at Ben Gurion International Airport.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 139 knots, and the touchdown point was 82 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was considered good, but the touchdown rate was high at -560 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters. The total landing distance was 1,736 meters, which covered 63% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking only 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 804 nautical miles, taking 145 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,187 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 21 at LLBG Ben Gurion International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 139 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 132 kt was within acceptable limits, suggesting a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's rate of descent was very hard at -560 fpm, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, 5.7 m off centreline. The touchdown point was 82 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, which, while not ideal, did not compromise the safety of the operation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,736 m, accounting for 63% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.4% reflecting the minor deviations from optimal performance.
