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 2,413 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17L at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile. The takeoff distance was 1,191 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 210°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of the airport and continued for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 161 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 2,623 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,019 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,396 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 24 miles southwest of Estancia Los Loros Airport in Ovalle, Chile, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 204 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, which started at a latitude of -27.7150601 and a longitude of -73.3618721. This climb was shorter, lasting only 2 minutes, and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 35,232 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 37,013 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,781 feet. The enroute level cruise then began again, this time lasting for 146 minutes and covering a distance of 1,091 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 29 miles west of Huarmey Airport in Peru. The descent was from an altitude of 37,077 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 929 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,148 feet. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at Carlos Martinez De Pinillos International Airport was made from the north, heading 186.0° at an altitude of 841 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 20, which had a length of 2,413 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 438 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 135 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -428 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 5 knots at 150°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,272 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,595 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 231 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,765 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at SPRU Carlos Martinez De Pinillos International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 20 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 186.0° at an altitude of 841 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 438 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -428 feet per minute (fpm) was somewhat hard, but this did not seem to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach, allowing the aircraft to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,272 meters was 53% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to maintain a high degree of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
