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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,185 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 321 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 approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 21L at OIKB Bandar Abbas International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,203 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were quite hot, with a temperature of 46 degrees Celsius. The wind was blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 210 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,068 feet above sea level to 37,071 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,003 feet in 35 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 258 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 15 miles southwest of Zahedan, Iran. This phase lasted for 129 minutes and covered a distance of 996 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 28 miles southwest of Zangguy, China. The descent from 36,814 feet above sea level to 5,958 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,856 feet, took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at ZWTN Hotan Airport was made from the east, heading 294.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 323 meters, which is 29% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cooler, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. The wind was blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 351 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,341 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 172 minutes. The aircraft used 8,064 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was successful, with good threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, and runway rollout alignment.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ZWTN Hotan Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 294.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 323 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also good at 127 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than desired.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 3.9 meters off-centerline. This may be due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor issue with the runway alignment. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a light wind of 4 knots at 351°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance.
