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 1,533 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 319 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 22 at UHSN Nogliki, a location in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia. The takeoff distance was 1,154 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -4 °C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 251 degrees.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of UHSN Nogliki. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,157 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 36,262 feet, an increase of 35,105 feet in 25 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 132 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began at a location with a latitude of 53.3967993 and a longitude of 145.6113591, and it lasted for 186 minutes, covering a distance of 1,372 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 52 miles southwest of UHMD Provideniya Bay Airport, which is located in Chukotskiy Avtonomnyy Okrug, Russia. The descent was from an altitude of 36,456 feet above sea level to 2,606 feet, a decrease of 33,851 feet in 14 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 12 miles west of PASA Savoonga Airport, which is located in Alaska, United States. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at PASA Savoonga Airport was from the southwest, with a heading of 57.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,855 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on the runway, which had a length of 1,533 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 319 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -284 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 1 °C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 916 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,603 nautical miles and lasted for 226 minutes. The aircraft used 9,618 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at PASA Savoonga Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 57.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,855 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 319 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly above the target.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was also 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 916 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.4%. The pilots demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and landing phases, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown.
