Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 553 m past the threshold — beyond 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 06R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,032 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -9°C, with no wind at 210°.
As the aircraft climbed out of CYUL, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,119 feet above sea level to 24,185 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,067 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 8 miles northwest of Paul Smiths, New York, and lasted for 60 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles southeast of Croghan, New York, and took 16 minutes to descend from 24,352 feet above sea level to 2,654 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,698 feet. The descent covered a distance of 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 2 miles northwest of Canastota, New York, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent started 2 miles west of KCAN Miller Airport, Canastota, and took 3 minutes to descend from 2,721 feet above sea level to 1,537 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,183 feet. The descent covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 267.0° and at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,120 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 144 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -181 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, with a wind of 6 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,400 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 185 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 2,446 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,120 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 28 was executed with precision, achieving a score of 98.7%. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 147 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 137 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of safe landing procedures, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilot was able to execute a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,400 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, using the available runway length to its fullest extent. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure, demonstrating the pilot's high level of skill and proficiency in operating the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
