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 1,823 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 432 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 34 at PAAK Atka Airport. The takeoff distance was 668 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of -1°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. After departing from Atka Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 38,980 feet above sea level. The climb was a significant increase of 37,911 feet in 32 minutes, covering a distance of 238 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 21 miles north of PAUA Cape Field at Fort Glenn Unalaska. This phase lasted for 121 minutes and covered a distance of 978 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 38,154 feet above sea level to 36,716 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,437 feet in 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another level cruise phase 101 miles southwest of PEC Pelican Seaplane Base. This phase lasted for 47 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 36,262 feet above sea level to 3,446 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,815 feet in 12 minutes, covering 81 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase 12 miles southwest of Petersburg, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. It then began its descent from 3,434 feet above sea level to 1,811 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,623 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at PAWG Wrangell Airport was from the northwest, heading 120.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,750 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 1,823 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 120 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 432 meters, and the touchdown speed was 109 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -122 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 789 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,459 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 194 minutes. The aircraft used 7,936 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at PAWG Wrangell Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 120.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,750 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 120 kt, but still within a safe margin. The touchdown distance of 432 meters was also good, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 109 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilots had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 7 kt from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 5 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt. Despite these wind conditions, the pilots were able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating a high level of skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 789 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent, and had made a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-600 at PAWG Wrangell Airport was a success, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and experience. The aircraft's performance was characterized by a good threshold height, a smooth touchdown, and a short landing distance, all of which are indicative of a well-executed landing.
