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.
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 2,039 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 454 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 to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 10 at SBMG Regional de Maringá - Sílvio Name Júnior Airport in Maringá, Parana, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,267 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of the departure airport, rising from an altitude of 2,773 feet above sea level to 38,082 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,310 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southeast of SINS Fazenda Cachoeira do Lontra Airport in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and lasted for 114 minutes, covering a distance of 1,082 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 21 miles west of Borba, Amazonas, Brazil, descending from 37,907 feet above sea level to 1,518 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,389 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at SBMN Ponta Pelada Airport / Manaus Air Base was made from the west, heading 75.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 456 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was -155 feet per minute, both of which were good. 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 29°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 996 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,317 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 157 minutes. The aircraft used 8,145 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at SBMN Ponta Pelada Airport / Manaus Air Base, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 09 from the west, heading 75.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level (agl), demonstrated a high level of precision and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 456 meters was also well within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable limits, signifying a gentle and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach, allowing the pilots to maintain control and precision throughout the landing.
The total landing distance of 996 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilots were able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating a high level of skill and control during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-600 at SBMN Ponta Pelada Airport / Manaus Air Base was a textbook example of precision and control, showcasing the skills and expertise of the pilots involved. The high level of precision and control demonstrated throughout the landing is a testament to the effectiveness of standard operating procedures and the importance of adherence to established protocols.
