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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,791 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,791 m of the 3,400 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 390 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 02C at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS). The takeoff distance was 1,699 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 17 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,053 feet above sea level to 36,418 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,365 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 42 miles east of Pekan, Malaysia, and lasted for 105 minutes, covering a distance of 830 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 47 miles northeast of Chu Lai Airport in Vietnam, descending from 36,405 feet above sea level to 1,344 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,061 feet, in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 156 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Sanya Phoenix International Airport (ZJSY) was made from the west, heading 82.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 392 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,714 meters, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,139 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 172 minutes. The aircraft used 7,215 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ZJSY Sanya Phoenix International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 08 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 82.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 392 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled impact with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which did not significantly affect the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,714 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The high score achieved by the pilot reflects their skill and experience in conducting safe and controlled landings.
