Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 3,012 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 531 m 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05 at VGEG Shah Amanat International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,479 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of VGEG Shah Amanat International Airport. The climb took 40 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,042 feet above sea level to 38,451 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,409 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 288 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 23 miles southeast of VYMO Momeik Airport. This phase lasted 49 minutes and covered a distance of 1,034 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 14 miles northwest of Jiazi, China. The descent took 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,625 feet above sea level to 1,346 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,279 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 209 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at RCQC Penghu Magong Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 198.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 20, which had a length of 3,012 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 118 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute, which was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 300 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,137 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,539 nautical miles, which was covered in 109 minutes. The aircraft used 9,676 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at RCQC Penghu Magong Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 20 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 kt, registering at 143 kt. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown point was 118 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is still considered acceptable.
The touchdown speed of 130 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 7 kt from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,137 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 successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The high score of 98.7% reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled landing.
