See Arrival Final 4
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,974 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,966 ft 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 area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field. The takeoff distance was 4,359 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 2 knots at 99 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of University Park, Texas, and involved a significant ascent from 1,525 feet above sea level to 34,747 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,222 feet in just 14 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 76 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles east of Tira, Texas, and lasted for 13 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 99 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 4 miles west of Delight, Arkansas, and involved a steep descent from 34,992 feet above sea level to 1,560 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,432 feet in 15 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 75 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 04L at KLIT Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field from the southwest. The aircraft was heading at 44.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 04L, which had a length of 7,974 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 120 knots.
The touchdown point was 598 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 119 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 3,699 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 259 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 5,017 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KLIT Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field, with a score of 95.1%. The final approach to runway 04L was initiated from the southwest, heading 44.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 120 knots being maintained. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing parameters. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -143 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable characteristic for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's position on the runway was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F.
The total landing distance of 3,699 feet was 46% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and successfully brought it to a stop within a safe distance from the runway's end.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard landing procedures. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment with the runway centerline.
