Monitor your 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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,435 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 09 at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH). The takeoff distance was 1,935 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and winds of 12 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of Humble, Texas, and involved a significant ascent from 1,113 feet above sea level to 35,853 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,740 feet in 22 minutes and covering 142 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of the TX51 Smith Airport Corsicana in Texas. This phase lasted for 197 minutes and covered a distance of 1,358 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 7 miles southwest of the OR48 Snyder Ranch Airport Condon in Oregon and involved a descent from 35,515 feet above sea level to 1,311 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,204 feet in 25 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 10L at Portland International Airport (KPDX) from the northwest, heading 119.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10L, which had a length of 2,435 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots, while the touchdown distance was good at 385 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -350 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 a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at 139 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,203 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,611 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 258 minutes. The aircraft used 11,724 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 10L at KPDX Portland International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 119.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kn, registering at 144 kn. However, the touchdown distance of 385 meters was deemed good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 140 kn was slightly faster than the target, but the firm touchdown rate of -350 feet per minute (fpm) suggests a controlled and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 10 kn from 139°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kn, while the headwind component was 9 kn. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,203 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing was characterized by a high degree of precision and control, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and rolling out in a stable and controlled manner. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled execution of the landing, resulting in a high score of 98.2%.
