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.
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 6,498 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,498 ft of the 8,361 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,576 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,637 feet, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 66°F and winds of 13 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Warwick, Rhode Island, and continued for 16 minutes, covering 100 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 1,054 feet above sea level to 32,190 feet.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of North Berwick, Maine, and lasted for 112 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered 888 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 32,568 feet to 33,805 feet, an increase of 1,237 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another level cruise phase, which started 55 miles east of Black Tickle Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This phase lasted for 83 minutes and covered 2,304 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 34,279 feet to 36,140 feet, an increase of 1,861 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 51 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Piikajarvi Airfield in Finland and lasted for 156 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered 972 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 17 miles northeast of Staraya Kulatka Airport in Russia. The descent from 36,198 feet to 34,959 feet was a decrease of 1,239 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 12 miles northeast of Staraya Kulatka Airport and lasted for 69 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started 12 miles northeast of Staraya Kulatka Airport. The descent from 34,959 feet to 2,093 feet was a decrease of 32,866 feet in 14 minutes, covering 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at Kurumoch International Airport was from the southwest, with a heading of 30.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,639 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with a touchdown point 1,212 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 6,234 feet, which was 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,425 nautical miles, taking 396 minutes, and the aircraft used 51,251 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Kurumoch International Airport, with a final approach score of 91.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 30.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,639 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 05, which has a length of 8,361 feet. The threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 127 knots, indicating that the pilot had properly configured the aircraft for landing. The touchdown point was 1,212 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot but still within a safe margin.
The touchdown speed of 115 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing process. However, the touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the pilot could have done a better job of controlling the aircraft's descent rate. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which is relatively minor. These conditions made the landing process relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance of 6,234 feet was 75% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of controlling the touchdown rate.
