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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,000 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 303 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 34 at MMSD Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Cabos. The takeoff distance was 1,057 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Santa Anita in the Estado de Baja California Sur, Mexico. The climb took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 210 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,320 feet above sea level to 38,715 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of MMGJ El Rosario Airstrip El Pozole in the Estado de Sinaloa, Mexico. This phase lasted for 135 minutes and covered a distance of 1,296 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southwest of Santiago de las Vegas in La Habana, Cuba. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 90 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 39,019 feet above sea level to 871 feet.
The final approach to runway 12 at MUCL Vilo Acuña International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 125.0 degrees at an altitude of 851 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 3,000 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 304 meters, and the touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 774 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,603 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 182 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,571 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at MUCL Vilo Acuña International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 125.0° at an altitude of 851 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot's final approach to runway 12 was executed with precision, achieving a score of 98.9%. This indicates that the pilot adhered to standard operating procedures and maintained control of the aircraft throughout the approach. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 127 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 304 meters, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-700. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to improve the rate of descent during the approach.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 50°, were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 774 meters, which is 26% of the runway length, was also satisfactory. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and roll out, and that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the roll out and bring it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at MUCL Vilo Acuña International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in approach and landing procedures.
