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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,649 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport (TNCM) in Saint Martin. The takeoff distance was 1,409 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 173 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Marigot, Saint Martin, and ascended from an altitude of 1,402 feet above sea level to 37,359 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,957 feet, in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 199 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 47 miles north of the ZC05 San Juan Static Carrier - CVN76 in Puerto Rico and lasted for 163 minutes, covering a distance of 1,101 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles southeast of Saint Stephen, South Carolina, and descended from an altitude of 35,504 feet above sea level to 5,922 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,582 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile northeast of Jaars, North Carolina, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles northeast of Lesslie, South Carolina, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,863 feet above sea level to 2,007 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,855 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36R at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) was made from the south, heading 356.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 36R, which had a length of 2,649 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots at a direction of 144 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,442 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,434 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 230 minutes. The aircraft used 10,282 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 36R. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 108 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly less than ideal, coming in at -266 feet per minute (fpm), which was classified as fair. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 144°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions favorable. The total landing distance was 1,442 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.2%.
