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 2,764 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 260 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 32 at KSTP Saint Paul Downtown Holman Field. The takeoff distance was 1,311 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 329 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 2 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 1,835 feet above sea level to 34,858 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,023 feet in 28 minutes and covering a distance of 184 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles west of 86WI Bakers Field Blanchardville, Wisconsin, and lasted for 341 minutes, covering a distance of 2,351 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles south of SVTP Playa Pintada Airport Boca de Uchire, Venezuela, and descended from 34,963 feet above sea level to 1,558 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,405 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at SVBC General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 322.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,519 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was 259 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 82 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was no headwind. The total landing distance was 762 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,588 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 352 minutes. The aircraft used 17,118 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at SVBC General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport, with a final approach score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, heading 322.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,519 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 2,764 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, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and safely after touchdown.
One minor issue was that the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 82°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and no headwind, making the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance of 762 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had maintained good control and had slowed down the aircraft quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a safe stop on the runway. While there were a few minor issues, such as the slightly fast touchdown speed and the misaligned touchdown position, the pilot had maintained good control and had executed a smooth and safe landing.
