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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,369 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,062 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) took 36 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 04, utilizing 3,338 feet, or 40% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 155 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind of 28 knots from a direction of 349 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 23 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from KMSP, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 29,552 feet above sea level in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The climb began overhead the airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend to its cruising altitude. Subsequent enroute descents were initiated at various points along the route, with the first descent from 29,612 feet to 25,903 feet occurring in 3 minutes and covering 53 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at cruising altitude for a brief period before beginning its final descent, which took it from 25,945 feet to 2,413 feet above sea level in 12 minutes and covering 91 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-800 then began its final approach to runway 01 at Marquette/Sawyer International Airport (KSAW), touching down 686 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 142 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -100 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 4,365 feet, or 35% of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft utilized a total of 306 nautical miles of distance and 8,320 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 28 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 01 at KSAW Marquette/Sawyer International Airport with a score of 94.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, aligning with the heading of 9.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height, although the threshold speed of 157 kt was significantly above the target.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 686 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 142 kt, which was slightly faster than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -100 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °F and a wind of 29 kt at 53°, resulted in a crosswind of 21 kt and a headwind of 21 kt.
The total landing distance of 4,365 feet was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
