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.

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 1,468 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,468 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 64 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 09 at Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport (ZYYJ) in Yanji, Jilin Sheng, China. The takeoff distance was 982 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -5 °C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 30°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile east of ZYYJ, rising from an altitude of 1,664 feet above sea level to 37,142 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,477 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 169 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 8 miles north of Anuchino, Primorskiy Kray, Russia, and lasted for 130 minutes, covering a distance of 1,126 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started at a latitude of 57.3874283 and a longitude of 154.6121921, where the aircraft descended from 36,940 feet above sea level to 1,417 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,522 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 192 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at Palana Airport (UHPL) was made from the west, heading 109.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,363 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11 at UHPL was successful, with a touchdown distance of 64 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 133 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -288 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -21 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 2°.
The total landing distance was 557 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,493 nautical miles, taking 178 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,227 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at UHPL Palana Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 11 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 109.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,363 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth 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. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -288 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -21°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 2°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 557 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management throughout the approach and landing phases.
