Keep the wings level on final
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 3,647 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 flight in the Boeing 737-600 began with a quick 3-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KGPI Glacier Park International Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 02, with a takeoff distance of 975 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was clocked at 146 knots, with a local temperature of -0 °C.
The enroute climb commenced over KFCA Glacier Park Intl Kalispell (Montana, United States) and saw the aircraft ascending from 4,048 feet above sea level to 39,181 feet above sea level, covering an increase of 35,133 feet in altitude over 29 minutes and 196 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the Boeing 737-600 entered into a level cruise phase 7 miles northwest of MT24 Beacon Star Antique Airfield Moore (Montana, United States) for 83 minutes, covering a distance of 1,053 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase was initiated 2 miles south of IG05 Wheeler Airport Knox (Indiana, United States), descending from 38,646 feet above sea level to 2,128 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,518 feet over 11 minutes and 62 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at KFWA Fort Wayne International Airport was conducted from the southwest at a heading of 44.0 °, 4 nautical miles out at an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with good threshold height, speed, and alignment. The touchdown distance, speed, and rate were all within acceptable ranges, with a fair touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 8 °C with a 10 kt wind coming from 201 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,265 meters, accounting for 35% of the runway length, with a very good runway rollout alignment.
Finally, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area from the runway in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for this journey was 1,318 nautical miles, spanning 133 minutes and consuming 6,858 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at KFWA Fort Wayne International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 371 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which is a common occurrence as the aircraft begins to touch down on the runway. However, the touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation during the landing.
Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 201°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly lower touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,265 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high degree of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phase.
