Slow down earlier
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: wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,601 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 336 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 10 at SCIP Mataveri Airport, Isla De Pascua, Chile. The takeoff distance was 1,178 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 109°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead SCIP Mataveri Airport. The climb took 36 minutes to reach a height of 36,522 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,295 feet from the initial altitude of 1,227 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 257 nautical miles.
Once the enroute climb was completed, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 180 minutes and covered a distance of 1,586 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a latitude of -29.0998114 and a longitude of -105.0529813.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 61 miles west of SCIS Puerto Sur Airport, Isla Santa Maria, Chile. The descent took 12 minutes to reach a height of 1,339 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,501 feet from the initial altitude of 36,840 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at SCIE Carriel Sur Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 23.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 230°.
The landing on runway 02 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots and a touchdown distance of 338 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,935 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 235 minutes. The aircraft used 11,325 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at SCIE Carriel Sur Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 02 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 128 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 338 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also good at 122 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than desired.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing. Overall, the Boeing 737-900 aircraft performed well during the landing, with a total landing distance of 860 meters, which is 33% of the runway length.
