Hold the approach angle
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 1,464 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,464 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 125 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 29 at PAKT Ketchikan International Airport in Ketchikan, Alaska. The takeoff distance was 857 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Ketchikan, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 36 minutes and covered 259 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,108 feet above sea level to 39,064 feet above sea level, a total increase of 37,957 feet. The enroute climb phase concluded as the aircraft reached cruising altitude.
The enroute level cruise phase began 33 miles south of CYJQ Denny Island Airport in British Columbia, Canada, and lasted for 158 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered 943 nautical miles. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft started its enroute descent, which began 2 miles southwest of KCAL Carmel Valley Village Airport in California, United States. The descent took 7 minutes and covered 84 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 39,044 feet above sea level to 1,958 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 37,086 feet.
The final approach to runway 11 at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 122.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,730 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 119 knots. The touchdown distance was 125 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -246 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 340 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,291 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 174 minutes. The aircraft used 7,807 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 122.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,730 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 11 was executed with precision, achieving a score of 99.6%. 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 123 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 125 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -246 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to achieve a smoother touchdown.
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 15°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 340°, were relatively calm, with a minimal crosswind and tailwind component. The total landing distance of 602 meters, which is 41% of the runway length, was also satisfactory.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was executed with a high level of proficiency, demonstrating the pilot's ability to safely and efficiently operate the Boeing 737-600 aircraft.
