Keep the wings level on final
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,644 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 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 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 10 at RJSK Akita Airport in Akita, Japan. The takeoff distance was 1,226 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 257 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of RJSK Akita Airport and reaching an altitude of 36,620 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 256 nautical miles, took 35 minutes and involved an increase of 35,424 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Chofu in Tokyo Prefecture, Japan. This cruise phase lasted for 168 minutes and covered a distance of 1,199 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 106 miles northwest of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. This descent, which covered a distance of 102 nautical miles, took 16 minutes and involved a decrease of 34,090 feet in altitude.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles west of PGWT Tinian International Airport on Tinian Island in the Northern Mariana Islands. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles northwest of PGWT Tinian International Airport. This descent, which covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, took 2 minutes and involved a decrease of 1,350 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 07 at PGSN Saipan International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 70.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 2,644 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 122 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -183 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,041 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,578 nautical miles, and the flight took 221 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,881 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at PGSN Saipan International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 07 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 144 knots. The touchdown point was 122 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve control during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,041 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-900 at PGSN Saipan International Airport was satisfactory, with a high score and good performance in various aspects of the landing.
