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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 425 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30 at CYHD Dryden Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,098 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of CYHD Dryden Regional Airport, rising from an altitude of 2,321 feet above sea level to 39,038 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,717 feet in 36 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 258 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles northeast of Mignon, Alabama, descending from 38,978 feet above sea level to 2,620 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,358 feet in 25 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 159 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 2 miles southwest of 16FL J-22 Ranch Airport Milton, Florida, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at KPNS Pensacola International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 167.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 427 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,213 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 139 minutes. The aircraft used 7,470 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KPNS Pensacola International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 17 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 167.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 123 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 129 knots. The touchdown distance of 427 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a slightly more stable rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C. The runway length of 2,138 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely. The total landing distance of 857 meters, which accounted for approximately 40% of the runway, was reasonable and indicated a controlled rollout.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also spot on, demonstrating excellent control and precision by the pilot. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out without any issues.
