Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,184 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,811 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 19R at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The takeoff distance was 4,464 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 85°F temperature and a 4-knot headwind at 200°. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of South Milwaukee and reached an altitude of 36,747 feet, an increase of 35,067 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Berrien Springs, Michigan, and lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 309 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles northwest of Grant Town, West Virginia, and descended from 37,175 feet to 2,551 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 163 nautical miles.
The aircraft then leveled off 1 mile northwest of MD97 Lanseair Farms Airport in La Plata, Maryland, and remained at that altitude for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Accokeek, Maryland, and the aircraft descended from 2,490 feet to 1,288 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) was made from the south, heading 355.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which was 7,184 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 442 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -169 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 75°F temperature and a 2-knot tailwind at 200°.
The total landing distance was 4,515 feet, which was 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 587 nautical miles, and the flight used 7,861 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on runway 01, achieving a score of 98.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 knots. The touchdown point was 442 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm) was good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 4,515 feet was 63% 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 aircraft was well under control during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics. The slight deviations from the ideal landing spot and touchdown speed were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft.
