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 3,192 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20 at RCQC Penghu Magong Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,333 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of RCQC Penghu Magong Airport. The climb took 41 minutes and covered a distance of 307 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,070 feet above sea level to 38,408 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,338 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 71 minutes and covered a distance of 969 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of 27.5399945 and a longitude of 123.1953316. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 15 miles northeast of Shuangyang in Jilin Sheng, China. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 119 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,696 feet above sea level to 1,727 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,969 feet.
The final approach to runway 23 at ZYHB Harbin Taiping International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 219.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 3,192 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 145 knots.
The touchdown point was 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,024 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,403 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 134 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,432 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ZYHB Harbin Taiping International Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with the runway 23 at a heading of 219.0°, approximately 4 nautical miles away and at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 98 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed during the approach. However, the touchdown rate of -128 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting that the pilots maintained control throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 8 knots from a direction of 220°. This headwind component helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed, making the landing more manageable. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots, which further contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 1,024 meters was 32% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilots maintained control and alignment throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a score of 99.3%. The pilots demonstrated a high level of skill and precision, and the aircraft performed as expected under the given weather conditions.
