Monitor your 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,142 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,980 feet, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 129°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. After a successful takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles northeast of KRDU. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,424 feet above sea level to 35,974 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,550 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Aynor, South Carolina. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 210 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles east of GA46 High Point Airport, St Mary's, Georgia. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,927 feet above sea level to 7,414 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,513 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of 0FL2 Alligator Drink Seaplane Base, Geneva, Florida. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile southwest of 01FL Cedar Knoll Flying Ranch Airport, Geneva, Florida. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 6,993 feet above sea level to 1,376 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,618 feet.
The final approach to runway 17L at KMCO Orlando International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 179.0° at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 141 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was 1,143 feet, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 484 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 9,176 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 17L, which has a length of 9,032 feet. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the final approach.
The touchdown distance of 1,143 feet was within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 4,521 feet was 50% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures.
