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.

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 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 549 m past the threshold — beyond 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 02 at LEJR Jerez Airport, a small airport located in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia, Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,131 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 280°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north east of LEJR Jerez Airport. The climb took 26 minutes to reach a height of 36,835 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,727 feet from the initial altitude of 1,108 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 201 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 5 miles north east of Velez-Blanco, another location in Andalusia, Spain. This cruise phase lasted for 92 minutes and covered a distance of 814 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 14 miles north east of Ortona, a city located in Abruzzo, Italy. The descent took 24 minutes to reach a height of 1,010 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,718 feet from the initial altitude of 36,729 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 147 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at LQMO Mostar International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 160.0° and an altitude of 842 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 15 at LQMO Mostar International Airport, which had a length of 2,395 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 145 knots. The touchdown point was 135 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 170°.
The total landing distance was 1,086 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,167 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 149 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,148 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at LQMO Mostar International Airport, achieving a score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 160.0° at an altitude of 842 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway.
The touchdown point was located 135 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much force during the landing. The touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance of 1,086 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and landing phases.
