See Arrival Final 2
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,005 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,296 ft 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 22L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,150 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Bensenville, Illinois. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 139 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,660 feet above sea level to 37,048 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Reading, Michigan. This phase lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 298 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles south of PN12 Sweet Valley/Morris Airport in Pennsylvania. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 176 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,854 feet to 3,514 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of South River, New Jersey. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead New Rochelle, New York. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,262 feet to 770 feet.
The final approach to runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 214.0° at an altitude of 746 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 1,299 feet, which was 51% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 264°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 3,603 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 665 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 106 minutes. The aircraft used 7,945 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 22, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 214.0° at 2 nautical miles and 746 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 146 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,299 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was within the recommended limits, and the touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting a smooth and controlled landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 13 feet off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. Nevertheless, it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 39°F and wind speeds of 8 knots at 264°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were manageable for the pilot, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
The total landing distance of 3,603 feet was 51% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
