Hold the approach angle
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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,571 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,548 ft 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35L at LTFM İstanbul Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,353 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 12 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of LTFM İstanbul Airport, Arnavutköy, and ascended from an altitude of 1,357 feet above sea level to 37,390 feet above sea level, a total increase of 36,033 feet. This climb phase took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles southeast of Tavsanli, Kuetahya, Turkey. This phase lasted for 37 minutes and covered a distance of 296 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 24 miles northwest of Rizokarpaso, Famagusta District, Cyprus. The descent phase took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,112 feet above sea level to 1,684 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 36,428 feet.
The final approach to runway 16 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 167.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,636 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 16, which had a length of 10,571 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 124°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The touchdown point was 176 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -153 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 4,399 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 563 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,289 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 16 was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 167.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,636 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was characterized by a high degree of accuracy, with a score of 99.9%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 139 knots, which was deemed good. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than ideal, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 176 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor discrepancy.
The landing distance of 4,399 feet was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. This is a testament to the aircraft's braking performance and the pilot's ability to control the descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 124°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. This is an important aspect of landing safety, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting off the runway or into the surrounding terrain.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The minor deviations from the optimal landing speed and touchdown point were not significant enough to impact the overall safety of the landing.
