Hold the approach angle
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.
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 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 57 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,736 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of KDEN Denver International Airport and climbing from an altitude of 6,410 feet above sea level to 38,245 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,835 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles south of KITR Kit Carson County Airport Burlington, Colorado. This phase lasted for 102 minutes and covered a distance of 736 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Bogue Chitto, Mississippi, and descending from an altitude of 39,696 feet above sea level to 15,662 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,034 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of M13 Poplarville-Pearl River Co Poplarville, Mississippi, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles east of M13 Poplarville-Pearl River Co Poplarville, and descending from an altitude of 15,662 feet above sea level to 1,826 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,837 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at KGPT Gulfport Biloxi International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 135.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,783 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 14, which had a length of 2,744 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 138 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 58 meters, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -601 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 272 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 881 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 960 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 171 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,203 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Gulfport Biloxi International Airport (KGPT) on runway 14, achieving a score of 93.1%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 135.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,783 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway were well-executed, resulting in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 138 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to slow down the aircraft effectively before touching down. The touchdown distance of 58 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -601 feet per minute (fpm). A heavier touchdown rate can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may require more braking distance. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 272°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 881 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
