Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,694 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,694 m of the 2,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 23 at ZYHB Harbin Taiping International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,163 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -18°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 260°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Harbin, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,503 feet above sea level to 18,522 feet. The next enroute level cruise started 10 miles south-west of ZXIL Lalin Air Base Xinglong, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 6 miles north of Wuchang, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles. The climb took the aircraft from 18,503 feet to 31,410 feet. The next enroute level cruise started 50 miles west of Hailin and lasted for 64 minutes, covering 559 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 12 miles north-west of Iwanai in Japan. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 32,341 feet to 2,540 feet. The next enroute level cruise started 10 miles south-east of Tomakomai and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 5 miles east of Tomakomai. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 2,530 feet to 1,336 feet. The final approach to runway 01R at RJCC New Chitose Airport was from the south, with the aircraft heading 352.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 01R was successful, with the touchdown point being 50 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 110°.
The total landing distance was 1,613 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 799 nautical miles, and the flight took 119 minutes, using 4,515 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at RJCC New Chitose Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 352.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 01R was executed with a high degree of precision, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed of 134 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and were able to manage its speed effectively.
The touchdown point was located 50 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly higher than the recommended speed, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -127 feet per minute, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge to the pilots, but they were able to navigate the aircraft safely and effectively.
The total landing distance of 1,613 meters was 54% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. This suggests that the pilots were able to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively, and that the aircraft was performing well within its design parameters. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at RJCC New Chitose Airport was a successful and well-executed procedure, demonstrating a high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilots.
