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 1,362 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,362 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 162 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 21 at RJFE Fukue Airport. The takeoff distance was 990 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of RJFE Fukue Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,132 feet above sea level to 38,575 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,443 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 262 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of Ibara, Japan, and lasted for 266 minutes, covering a distance of 2,276 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 108 miles northwest of PADK Adak Airport, Adak, Alaska, and descended from 39,104 feet above sea level to 4,504 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,600 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 166 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 19 miles north of PAAK Atka Airport, Atka, Alaska, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 13 miles north of PAAK Atka Airport, and descended from 4,489 feet above sea level to 2,641 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,848 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more 6 miles east of PAAK Atka Airport and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34 at PAAK Atka Airport from the south, heading 343.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 318 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 at PAAK Atka Airport was successful, with a runway length of 1,362 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 163 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 122 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -298 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 610 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. 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 2,734 nautical miles, taking 324 minutes, and the aircraft used 13,875 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at PAAK Atka Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 343.0° at 1 nautical mile and 318 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's control and navigation skills were evident in the precise alignment of the aircraft with the runway, as the runway touchdown alignment was reported as perfect.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 122 kt, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 127 kt. However, this minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 163 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from 309°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was also 1 kt. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent.
The total landing distance of 610 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The minor deviations from the recommended threshold speed and touchdown speed were not significant enough to impact the overall performance of the landing, and the aircraft was able to come to a safe and controlled stop on the runway.
