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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,923 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,923 m of the 2,557 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 257 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29 at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,477 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 279 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 17 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of CYYC and reached an altitude of 32,037 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,539 feet from the initial altitude of 4,499 feet. This climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles northeast of Fort Macleod (CFM8) Airport in Montana, United States. This phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 183 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles north of Lonewood Meadows Airport (1MT4) in Helena, Montana. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 32,479 feet to 8,188 feet.
The final approach to runway 19 at Yellowstone Airport (KWYS) was made from the northeast, heading 206.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,528 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 260 meters and a touchdown speed of 139 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -601 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -7°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 225 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,849 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 407 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 2,915 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KWYS Yellowstone Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,528 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 2,557 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 139 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast on touchdown. The touchdown rate of -601 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a more forceful touchdown than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -7°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 225°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,849 meters was 72% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
