Keep the wings level on final
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,431 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 383 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 27 at KMLI Quad City International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,043 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Milan, Illinois. The climb took 38 minutes and covered a distance of 289 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,630 feet above sea level to 38,724 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,094 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Madisonville Regional Airport in Kentucky. This phase lasted for 67 minutes and covered a distance of 531 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Sanders Ranch Airport in Florida. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 178 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,820 feet above sea level to 3,085 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,734 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Port Salerno, Florida. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles northwest of Loxahatchee Groves, Florida. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,996 feet above sea level to 1,278 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,718 feet.
The final approach to runway 10L at KPBI Palm Beach International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 93.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at a direction of 220 degrees.
The total landing distance was 889 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. 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 1,036 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 148 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,578 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 10L at KPBI Palm Beach International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 93.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 123 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed of 131 knots. The touchdown distance of 385 meters was also well within the expected range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach, allowing the pilot to maintain perfect runway alignment and touchdown.
The touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth and controlled, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and maintained a stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning itself with the centerline of the runway.
The total landing distance of 889 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft's performance was also impressive, with a smooth and controlled touchdown and a short landing distance.
