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 55 kt FAST on the reference speed of 126 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,040 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 10 at TIST Cyril E. King Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10, the Boeing 737-600 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 146 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 1,029 m, which represented 48 % of the runway. Local weather at the time was 29 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 090°, providing a headwind component of 4 kt and no crosswind.
Climb commenced overhead the departure airport, with the aircraft ascending from 967 ft asl to 40,007 ft asl, an increase of 39,040 ft. The climb was completed in 43 minutes while covering 318 nm.
The first cruise segment began 3 mi east of MDER El Ranchito Airport in the Dominican Republic and continued for 173 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,414 nm.
Descent started at latitude 28.0110715 and longitude -92.7602259, with the aircraft descending from 39,994 ft asl to 2,350 ft asl, a loss of 37,644 ft. The descent lasted 20 minutes and covered 153 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 3 mi north-east of Cove, Texas, lasting 6 minutes and spanning 27 nm.
The final approach to runway 27 at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Airport was flown from the east, on a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,267 ft agl.
Landing on runway 27 was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 129 kt. Touchdown occurred 374 m down the runway at a speed of 123 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 141 fpm and perfect alignment. Weather at the airport was 28 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 240°, giving a headwind component of 2 kt and a crosswind of 1 kt.
The rollout distance measured 863 m, representing 28 % of the runway, and alignment remained perfect throughout the ground run.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,919 nm, lasted 249 minutes, and consumed 10,800 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 established its final approach to runway 27 at KIAH, Houston, from the east on a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,267 ft agl. Local conditions were 28 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 240°, providing a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind.
Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 129 kt.
Touchdown occurred 374 m down the runway at a speed of 123 kt, noted as a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 141 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 863 m, representing 28 % of the 3,040 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Reduce approach and touchdown speeds to meet target values, concentrating on energy management to avoid the slight excess observed. With a final score of 99.6 %, the landing was excellent and only minor speed refinements are needed.
