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 5,590 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,590 ft of the 8,902 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,038 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 to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 12R at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,386 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 68°F and winds of 6 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Kinloch, Missouri. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,607 feet above sea level to 33,078 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,470 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles northeast of IL24 Richardson Airport in New Berlin, Illinois. This phase of the flight lasted 18 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Oswego, Illinois. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 33,131 feet above sea level to 1,958 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,173 feet.
The final approach to runway 19R at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 19R, which has a length of 8,902 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 689 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total landing distance was 5,341 feet, which is 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 289 nautical miles, and the flight took 71 minutes. The aircraft used 5,692 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) on runway 19R, achieving a score of 96.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, utilizing the available runway length of 8,902 feet to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was also within acceptable limits at 136 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing parameters. The touchdown rate of -121 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent and minimal impact on the aircraft's landing gear.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, contributing to a relatively stable and predictable landing environment.
The total landing distance of 5,341 feet was 60% of the available runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient use of the available space. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the designated runway.
