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.

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 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 m touchdown sits inside 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 19 at BIRK Reykjavik Airport. The takeoff distance was 910 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Kopavogur (Hoefudborgarsvaedi, Iceland) and climbing from 1,099 feet above sea level to 37,571 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,472 feet in 28 minutes, covering 180 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 71 miles south of BIFM Fagurhólsmýri Airport Fagurhólsmýri (Austurland, Iceland) and lasted 131 minutes, covering 1,172 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Hirtzfelden (Grand Est, France) and descending from 37,150 feet above sea level to 2,591 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,560 feet in 18 minutes, covering 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport was made from the north east, heading 232.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,182 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a runway length of 3,570 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 131 knots. The touchdown distance was 420 meters, and the touchdown speed was 118 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -421 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 360°, with no crosswind or headwind. The total landing distance was 903 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,468 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 184 minutes. The aircraft used 9,720 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) on runway 22. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,182 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 97.3%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 420 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown rate of -421 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher rate of descent than intended. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 360°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance of 903 meters was 25% 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's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any deviation from the centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing.
