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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,955 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 226 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 02 at SPRU Carlos Martinez De Pinillos International Airport. The Boeing 737-900 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 884 meters, which was 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 169 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north of SPRU Carlos Martinez De Pinillos International Airport, Trujillo, and climbed from an altitude of 1,197 feet above sea level to 38,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,525 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 17 miles southeast of Huarmey, Ancash, Peru, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 1,277 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 6 miles southeast of Laguna Yema, Formosa Province, Argentina, and descended from 39,080 feet above sea level to 1,463 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,616 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 224 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20 at SARC Corrientes Airport was made from the north, heading 188.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 20 at SARC Corrientes Airport was successful, with a runway length of 1,955 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 133 knots. The touchdown distance was 228 meters, which was 37% of the runway. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 120 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 716 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,657 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 9,859 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at SARC Corrientes Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 20 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 188.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 228 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 716 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled and stable manner.
