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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 440 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 33 at Paro International Airport (VQPR) in Bhutan. The Boeing 737-600 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,498 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 137 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 155 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Paro. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 8,525 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 40,751 feet, an increase of 32,227 feet in just 45 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 319 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 4 miles northeast of Nahorkatiya in Assam, India. This cruise phase lasted for 58 minutes and covered a distance of 1,118 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 37 miles southwest of Hefei Xinqiao International Airport in China. The descent from 40,917 feet to 19,255 feet took just 5 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 24 miles northeast of Chaohu in Anhui Sheng, China. This brief cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 24 miles north of Wuhu Wanli Airport in Anhui Sheng, China. The descent from 18,423 feet to 2,361 feet took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles northeast of Nanjing Lukou International Airport in Jiangsu Sheng, China. This brief cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at Nanjing Lukou International Airport, which was located to the northeast of the aircraft's position.
The final approach was made with a heading of 238.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed on runway 24, which had a length of 3,594 meters. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown distance was good at 441 meters. The touchdown rate was also good at -195 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,005 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,574 nautical miles and took 118 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 8,930 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at ZSNJ Nanjing Lukou International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 24 was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course and speed. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed, however, was above the target speed of 135 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 441 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing. The touchdown speed of 121 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. However, the touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance of 1,005 meters was 28% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
