Settle the descent rate
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: sink rate 1,316 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 4.1° against the runway's 3°.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,094 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,292 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,292 ft of the 11,467 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,762 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Orlando International Airport, the Boeing B737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 36R, the crew prepared for departure, taking into account the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 91 °F and a gentle headwind of 4 knots.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 158 knots, utilizing 52% of the available runway length of 6,255 feet. The initial climb phase began shortly after, as the aircraft ascended from 1,048 feet above sea level to 31,999 feet, a vertical gain of 30,952 feet, in just 20 minutes and covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The crew continued to navigate through the enroute climb phases, reaching a maximum altitude of 35,491 feet before transitioning into a level cruise. This phase lasted for 187 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,382 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the crew initiated a controlled descent from 36,002 feet to 2,602 feet, a vertical loss of 33,399 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 was executed from the east, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 1,412 feet beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 133 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -117 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 5,042 feet, utilizing 44% of the available runway length. Following a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,678 nautical miles, using 23,730 pounds of fuel and taking a total of 260 minutes.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 26 at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, showcasing a commendable approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,483 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning itself with the runway heading of 270.0°. The approach was characterized by a smooth touchdown, with a speed of 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -117 feet per minute (fpm) further underscored the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect centerline alignment, a testament to the pilot's precision and control. The threshold speed of 147 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was located 1,412 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not compromise the overall safety of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 102°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The Boeing B737-800's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 5,042 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, earning a score of 95.5%. The pilot's expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
