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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport, a Boeing 737-700 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 947 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 159 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile northwest of Burbank. The climb was a steep one, with the aircraft rising from an initial altitude of 1,705 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,786 feet, an increase of 37,080 feet in just 19 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 85 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 10 miles north of L91 Rio Bravo Bakersfield. This phase of the flight lasted for 91 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 703 nautical miles. The cruise altitude was maintained at 38,786 feet, allowing the aircraft to make efficient use of its fuel.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles northwest of Carlton, Montana. The descent was a gradual one, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 37,712 feet to 4,852 feet in just 22 minutes. This phase of the flight covered a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at KGPI Glacier Park International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 35.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,860 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 2,739 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots.
However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -299 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 965 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking just 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 887 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 167 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,767 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KGPI Glacier Park International Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The final approach to runway 02 was initiated from the southwest, heading 35.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,860 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 133 knots was also satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than desired at 129 knots, which resulted in a fair touchdown rate of -299 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 383 meters was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.6 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 179°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 965 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the desired performance. The pilot's ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown was demonstrated, despite the slight misalignments and faster-than-desired touchdown speed.
