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 1,370 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,370 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 18 at LPAZ Santa Maria Airport, with a takeoff distance of 986 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 73 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead LPAZ Santa Maria Airport and Vila do Porto in the Azores, Portugal. The climb took 33 minutes, covering a distance of 236 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 39,323 feet in altitude.
The enroute level cruise started 42 miles west of Cedros in the Azores, Portugal, and lasted for 37 minutes, covering a distance of 274 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. The descent resulted in a decrease of 3,017 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 40.8666623 and a longitude of -35.7632236. This cruise lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. The climb resulted in an increase of 2,219 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 41.9346386 and a longitude of -39.7343469. This cruise lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. The descent resulted in a decrease of 2,924 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered a long level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 42.8704856 and a longitude of -42.5276902. This cruise lasted for 130 minutes, covering a distance of 747 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The descent resulted in a decrease of 3,135 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles east of Glace Bay in Nova Scotia, Canada. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The descent resulted in a decrease of 5,991 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 24 miles north of Sydney Mines in Nova Scotia, Canada. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 53 nautical miles. The descent resulted in a decrease of 25,733 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which started 5 miles west of CYTD L'Île d'Entrée Airfield in Quebec, Canada. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at CYGR Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 60.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,188 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at CYGR Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport, achieving a high score of 95.2%. The final approach to runway 07 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 60.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,188 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 341 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 317°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was only 1 knot. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable approach path and touchdown.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700 aircraft performed well during the landing at CYGR Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport, achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, which will need to be addressed in future training exercises.
