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.

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 3,000 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 454 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 737-900, then departed from runway 34 at LWSK Skopje International Airport. The takeoff distance was 388 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Kadino (Ilinden, Macedonia). The climb took 33 minutes and covered a distance of 217 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,791 feet above sea level to 36,775 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,984 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north of LGSY Skiros Airport Skiros Island (Central Greece, Greece). This phase lasted for 153 minutes and covered a distance of 811 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 49 miles northeast of Akhmim (Muhafazat Suhaj, Egypt). The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,891 feet above sea level to 1,713 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,178 feet.
The final approach to runway 20 at HELX Luxor International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 201.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,416 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -73 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 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 330 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,021 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,127 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 154 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,638 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Luxor International Airport (HELX) with a score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 20 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 201.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,416 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing were executed flawlessly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 455 meters. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was well within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -73 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 330°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing was unaffected, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment and a total landing distance of 1,021 meters, which accounted for only 34% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the aircraft's crew demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the maneuver.
