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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 372 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 01 at RJFO Oita Airport in Oita, Japan. The takeoff distance was 1,066 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of RJFO Oita Airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,052 feet above sea level to 36,642 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,590 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 17 miles northeast of Hitoyoshi, Japan, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 9 miles west of Kobayashi, Japan, and ascending from 37,252 feet above sea level to 37,964 feet above sea level, an increase of 713 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles west of RJFK Kagoshima Airport in Kagoshima, Japan, and lasted for 105 minutes, covering a significant distance of 1,095 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 26 miles north of Patnanungan, Philippines, and descending from 37,834 feet above sea level to 1,829 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,006 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport in the Philippines was made from the northeast, with a heading of 240.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,752 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 371 meters, a touchdown speed of 121 knots, and a touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots at a direction of 359 degrees.
The total landing distance was 852 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,281 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 142 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,379 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 24 was executed from the north east, with a heading of 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,752 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's descent and approach were characterized by a high level of precision, with a score of 99.8% indicating a nearly flawless performance. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 127 knots was also within the acceptable range. This suggests that the pilots maintained a steady and controlled approach, allowing the aircraft to touch down smoothly on the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was equally impressive. The touchdown distance of 371 meters was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 121 knots was also good. The touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was within the standard limits, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 359°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind component, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 852 meters, which accounted for only 25% of the runway length, further highlights the pilots' exceptional skills and the aircraft's performance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing roll and were able to bring it to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' expertise and the Boeing 737-600's capabilities, demonstrating a high level of precision, control, and safety.
