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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,429 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,170 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Grapevine, Texas. The climb took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 150 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,619 feet above sea level to 36,412 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,793 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of the Carlin Lawrence Airport in Carnegie, Oklahoma. This phase lasted for 59 minutes and covered a distance of 432 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Gunbarrel, Colorado. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 80 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,344 feet above sea level to 8,171 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,173 feet.
The final approach to runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 258.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,693 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25, which had a length of 2,429 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 357 meters, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -380 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots at a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,239 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. 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 671 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 109 minutes. The aircraft used 5,163 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,693 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 357 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -380 feet per minute was firm but not excessive.
One minor issue was noted during the landing, as the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 170°. There was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, which made the landing even more straightforward.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 51% of the runway length. The total landing distance of 1,239 meters was well within the acceptable limits, and the pilot's skills and control of the aircraft were evident throughout the landing process.
