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 1,526 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 370 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at NSFA Faleolo International Airport, where the Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,294 meters, which is 43% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles west of NSFA Faleolo International Airport, Apia. The climb started from an altitude of 1,042 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 38,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,949 feet in 44 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 321 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of -8.8683822 and a longitude of -169.9378905. This phase lasted for 133 minutes and covered a distance of 1,780 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 66 miles southwest of FM03 Hawaii Moving Carrier - CVN78. The descent started from an altitude of 39,020 feet above sea level and reached a minimum altitude of 2,640 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,380 feet in 22 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles southwest of PHNY Lanai Airport Lanai City. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at PHNY Lanai Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 40.0 degrees at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 733 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 1,526 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 60 degrees.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown distance of 367 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -239 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,260 nautical miles, which was covered in 204 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12,760 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at PHNY Lanai Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 40.0° at an altitude of 733 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a threshold speed of 133 knots being achieved, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 367 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
However, there was a slight deviation in the touchdown rate, which was recorded at -239 feet per minute (fpm). While this is not ideal, it is still considered fair, and the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing process is still evident.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing process.
The total landing distance of 851 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at PHNY Lanai Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the landing process. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing was executed with precision and stability.
