Keep the speed up on final
See Arrival Final 4
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 below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,164 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,164 ft of the 7,089 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,375 ft 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 5,092 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots at 262 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 5 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile north of Flagami, Florida, and the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,055 feet above sea level to 36,876 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,820 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 34 miles northeast of Varadero, Cuba, and lasted for 58 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 425 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 63 miles east of Pulticub Airport in Mexico and lasted for 28 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,645 feet above sea level to 1,330 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,315 feet, and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (MZBZ) was made from the west, with a heading of 77.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,306 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,373 feet, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -290 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and there was a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 4,896 feet, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 694 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 2 hours. The aircraft used 11,607 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MZBZ Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 07 from the west, heading 77.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,306 feet above ground level (agl), was executed with precision.
The aircraft's touchdown on the runway was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 143 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to improve the rate by adjusting the aircraft's descent rate during the approach. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 85°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the approach.
The total landing distance of 4,896 feet was 69% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at MZBZ Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in approach and landing procedures. While there were some minor areas for improvement, the landing was executed with precision and safety.
