Slow down earlier
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 294 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 09 at Kangerlussuaq Airport (BGSF) in Greenland. The takeoff distance was 830 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of -7°C and winds of 4 knots at 39 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Kangerlussuaq, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 38 minutes and covered 279 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,175 feet above sea level to 38,973 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 171 minutes and covered 1,100 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location with coordinates of 67.8272719 latitude and -38.6661019 longitude. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 62 miles northwest of Sistranda in Norway. The descent took 12 minutes and covered 71 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 38,289 feet to 1,231 feet.
The final approach to runway 15 at Ørland Airport (ENOL) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 154.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,191 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 117 knots and a touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 292 meters, which is 25% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at Ørland Airport were a temperature of 7°C and winds of 8 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,457 nautical miles and took 192 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 8,318 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at ENOL Ørland Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading at 154.0° and maintaining a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,191 feet above ground level (agl), the pilots expertly guided the aircraft towards a smooth touchdown.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. The threshold speed of 125 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a speed of 117 knots, which is well within the recommended range for a safe landing. The touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's alignment and speed to achieve a very good runway touchdown alignment. The total landing distance of 686 meters was only 25% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilots' expertise in navigating the aircraft to a precise touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The Boeing 737-700's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and maintain a high level of precision during the landing phase is a credit to the pilots and the aircraft's design.
