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 2,616 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 602 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-900 started with a 4-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at BIAR Akureyri. The departure roll on runway 01 covered a distance of 2,204 meters, with liftoff occurring at a speed of 166 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 2°C with a 2-knot wind coming from 209°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and 1-knot tailwind during takeoff.
The enroute climb began over Akureyri, ascending from 1,075 feet above sea level to 37,038 feet over a distance of 99 nautical miles. This climb took 19 minutes to cover the altitude increase of 35,962 feet. The flight then entered a level cruise phase for 178 minutes, covering 1,113 nautical miles and starting 5 miles southeast of BIAE Arngerðareyri Airport Isafjoerdur.
The descent portion of the flight started at a specific latitude and longitude, descending from 37,046 feet to 1,607 feet over 11 minutes and 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another brief level cruise phase for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles and starting 9 miles southeast of Apex in Nunavut, Canada.
For the landing at CYFB Iqaluit on runway 34, the aircraft touched down 602 meters from the threshold at a speed of 117 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -211 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 4°C with a 2-knot wind from 209°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and 1-knot tailwind. The total landing distance required was 1,285 meters, which was 49% of the runway length of 2,616 meters.
After landing, a 2-minute taxi from the runway back to the parking area was conducted, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance covered was 1,278 nautical miles over a duration of 189 minutes, consuming 7,980 kg of fuel during the journey.
