See Arrival Final 2
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,134 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 264 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 21 at KIDA Idaho Falls Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,262 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of KIDA Idaho Falls Regional Airport. The climb took 36 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 5,747 feet above sea level to 38,835 feet, an increase of 33,088 feet. The distance covered during this period was 294 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northeast of 44WY Underwood Airport Douglas in Wyoming. This phase lasted for 109 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 853 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles south of Freelandville in Indiana. The descent took 11 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,178 feet to 2,841 feet, a decrease of 36,337 feet. The distance covered during this period was 125 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of 5KY8 Harold Reynolds Airport Harrodsburg in Kentucky. This phase lasted for 4 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04 at KLEX Blue Grass Airport from the southwest, heading at 41.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 at KLEX Blue Grass Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,134 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 126 knots. The touchdown distance was 266 meters, which was 36% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 330°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 773 meters, which was 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,294 nautical miles, which was covered in 157 minutes. The aircraft used 6,954 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at KLEX Blue Grass Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 266 meters was within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, which had a negligible impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 773 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a safe stop without any issues.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 99.8% reflects the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft safely and efficiently, even in the presence of minor deviations from the desired touchdown speed.
