Keep the wings level on final
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,281 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 349 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 30L at KVGT North Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 813 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 6 knots, with no crosswind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northwest of KVGT North Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 3,252 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 39,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,751 feet in 35 minutes, covering a distance of 262 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began approximately 2 miles northeast of Steamboat, Arizona. This phase lasted for 154 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,321 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started approximately 2 miles southeast of Ochlocknee, Georgia. The descent was from a maximum altitude of 39,281 feet above sea level to an altitude of 2,023 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,259 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began approximately 2 miles north of 81FL Cox's Hammock Airport, Indiantown, Florida. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 29 at KGNV Gainesville Regional Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 281.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 29 at KGNV Gainesville Regional Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 349 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 128 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 40 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 816 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,716 nautical miles, taking a total of 211 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,347 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KGNV Gainesville Regional Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 281.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 128 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 349 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft was well-managed during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment, indicating precise control and navigation.
The total landing distance of 816 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled and safe stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and navigation skills throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The crew's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude, despite the slight deviations from target values, was impressive, and the landing was executed with precision and safety.
