See Arrival Final 2
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: 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 2,936 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 24 at CYQY Sydney / J.A. Douglas McCurdy Airport in Nova Scotia, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,352 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 266°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 5 knots. After departing from CYQY, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb took 37 minutes to reach a height of 35,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,885 feet from the initial altitude of 1,118 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 326 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began approximately 18 miles northeast of Torbay in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This phase lasted for 170 minutes and covered a distance of 1,679 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started at a latitude of 45.0570744 and a longitude of -11.3296271. The descent took 9 minutes to reach a height of 3,816 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,175 feet from the previous altitude of 34,991 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 166 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started approximately 2 miles south of Culleredo in Galicia, Spain. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at LEST Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport in Spain was made from the north, with a heading of 166.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17 was successful, with a touchdown point located 117 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also perfect at -37 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 20°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,061 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,195 nautical miles, which was covered in 225 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,001 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at LEST Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 17 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 166.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 knots. The touchdown point was located 117 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -37 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 8°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and there was a slight tailwind of 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,061 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 also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The high score of 99.2% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in navigating the aircraft through the final approach and landing phases.
