Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,937 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,937 m of the 3,492 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Harbin Taiping International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 initiated its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,541 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 34,116 feet above sea level. This climb phase, which lasted 17 minutes, covered a distance of 107 nautical miles and resulted in a significant increase of 32,574 feet in altitude. The aircraft then transitioned into a steady enroute level cruise, maintaining a consistent altitude for a duration of 1300 minutes as it covered a distance of 728 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude from 34,546 feet above sea level to 1,307 feet above sea level. This descent phase, which lasted 19 minutes, covered a distance of 105 nautical miles and resulted in a decrease of 33,239 feet in altitude. The aircraft then entered the final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 36 at Chubu Centrair International Airport from the south. The landing was executed with a threshold height of 71 feet above ground level, which was well above the target, and a threshold speed of 142 knots, which was considered good.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 36, with a touchdown point located 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than desired, while the touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots from 270 degrees, and a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,860 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 948 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 5,908 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted 141 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 36 at RJGG Chubu Centrair International Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the south. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a threshold height of 71 ft agl, exceeding the target by a considerable margin. The approach quality was further enhanced by a threshold speed of 142 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it became apparent that the touchdown speed of 140 kt was slightly above the optimal value. However, the touchdown rate of -262 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively smooth transition from the air to the ground. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,860 m, accounting for 53% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.6% reflecting the crew's skillful execution of the approach and landing.
