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 2,988 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 282 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 24 at CYMX Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport. The takeoff distance was 820 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -16 °C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 240°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead CYMX Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport. The climb took 34 minutes and covered a distance of 191 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,304 feet above sea level to 38,482 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,178 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 2 miles south west of Marcellus, New York, and lasted for 122 minutes, covering a distance of 770 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 10 miles north east of Fernandina Beach, Florida, and took 16 minutes to descend from 38,432 feet above sea level to 1,539 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,893 feet. The descent covered a distance of 84 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started 3 miles north west of KOMN Ormond Beach Municipal Airport and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at KDAB Daytona Beach International Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 65.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07L, which had a length of 2,988 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 281 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8 °C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 8°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 820 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,065 nautical miles and took 186 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 8,682 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB) on runway 07L. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 knots, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown distance of 281 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and stability during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, but the smooth touchdown rate of -125 feet per minute (fpm) suggests that the aircraft's descent was well-managed.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the landing phase to ensure a more precise touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 8°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 820 meters was 27% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the landing phase.
