Track the centreline 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,991 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 211 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 27 at Indira Gandhi International Airport (VIDP) in New Delhi, India. The takeoff distance was 907 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -11°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 290°.
As the aircraft climbed out of VIDP, it began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles west of the airport. The climb took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,737 feet above sea level to 36,333 feet, an increase of 34,596 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 118 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles south of Kakrala, Uttar Pradesh, India, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 36,625 feet to 37,301 feet, an increase of 676 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 8 miles northeast of Bhinga, Uttar Pradesh, India, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 319 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles southeast of Ilam, Province 1, Nepal. The descent took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,524 feet to 8,569 feet, a decrease of 28,955 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 83 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 8,595 feet to 16,516 feet, an increase of 7,921 feet, in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 14 miles northeast of Daphu, Chhukha Dzongkhag, Bhutan, and descended from 16,512 feet to 15,514 feet, a decrease of 998 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 7 miles east of Daphu and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at Paro International Airport (VQPR) from the north, heading 160.0° at 1 nautical mile and 473 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 1,991 meters. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 124 knots, and the touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,270 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 736 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 127 minutes. The aircraft used 5,748 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, heading 160.0° at 1 nautical mile and 473 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 124 knots, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was considered good, indicating a controlled and smooth landing. The touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft deviating 3.9 meters from the centerline. This deviation is relatively minor and may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 191°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
The total landing distance of 1,270 meters was 64% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently, with a good rollout alignment. The runway rollout alignment was considered very good, indicating a stable and controlled rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 90.3%. While there were minor deviations in terms of touchdown point and runway alignment, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the landing was executed safely and efficiently.
