Slow the descent 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.
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: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,086 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 09 at PAOT Ralph Wien Memorial Airport. The takeoff distance was 745 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 244 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Kotzebue, Alaska. The climb took 34 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,121 feet above sea level to 38,772 feet, an increase of 37,651 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 278 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 31 miles west of FVM Five Mile, Alaska. This phase lasted for 59 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 864 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 17 miles east of CEU9 Trout Lake Airport Sambaa K'e, Northwest Territories, Canada. The descent took 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,846 feet to 3,862 feet, a decrease of 34,984 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 359 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 11 miles south east of CAL4 Fort MacKay/Albian Aerodrome Albian Village, Alberta, Canada. This phase lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35 at CYFI Firebag was made from the south, with a heading of 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35 at CYFI Firebag was successful, with a runway length of 2,086 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 119 knots. The touchdown distance was 424 meters, which was 42% of the runway. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 111 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. 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 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 177 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 867 meters, which was 42% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,519 nautical miles, taking 118 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,341 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at CYFI Firebag, achieving a score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 119 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 424 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 111 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 177°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 867 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management throughout the landing phase.
