Slow down earlier
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,558 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,558 m of the 2,702 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a FWB Infinity Airways, then departed from runway 09 at Phu Bai International Airport, located in Huế, Vietnam. The takeoff distance was 1,301 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from an altitude of 773 feet above sea level to 3,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,225 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute climb began 1 mile east of the airport, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached the desired altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northeast of the airport and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The cruise phase was a stable and efficient period of flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and speed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from an altitude of 3,647 feet above sea level to 1,640 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,007 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The descent started 5 miles west of Hue, Vietnam, and the aircraft continued to descend until it reached the desired altitude.
The final approach to runway 09 at Phu Bai International Airport was made from the west, heading 95.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,592 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 2,702 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 141 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 387 meters, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -244 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots at 230 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,480 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 49 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 551 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The FWB Infinity Airways aircraft successfully landed at VVPB Phu Bai International Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 95.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,592 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 2,702 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 141 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 387 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 134 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair, coming in at -244 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the aircraft touched down slightly harder than intended, which could have been due to the pilot's flare technique or the aircraft's descent rate.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters, which may have been due to the pilot's alignment or the aircraft's drift during the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 230°.
The total landing distance was 1,480 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown speed effectively. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and technique throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there may be some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown rate and improving the runway alignment.
