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 2,592 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 284 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 01 at Teterboro Airport (KTEB). The takeoff distance was 836 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 309°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of Hackensack, New Jersey, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,062 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 37,303 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,241 feet in 40 minutes, covering a distance of 254 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 7 miles southeast of Petersburg, West Virginia, and lasted for 100 minutes, covering a distance of 941 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent approximately 2 miles northwest of Richland, Texas, and descended from an altitude of 37,937 feet above sea level to 3,549 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,388 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile east of the 86TX Flying J Airport in Bulverde, Texas, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began again approximately 1 mile southwest of Timberwood Park, Texas, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,227 feet above sea level to 2,101 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,126 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at San Antonio International Airport (KSAT) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13R, which had a length of 2,592 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 126 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 286 meters, and the touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -187 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 190°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 761 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 1,379 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 164 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,207 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at San Antonio International Airport (KSAT) on runway 13R, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and speed of 126 knots. The touchdown distance of 286 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 120 knots was well-controlled. The touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 761 meters was only 29% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700's landing at KSAT was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a short distance. The high score of 99.5% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance under the given conditions.
