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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 30 at EFOU Oulu Airport in Finland. The takeoff distance was 833 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Oulu Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 180 degrees. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport and reached an altitude of 38,972 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,916 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 249 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 6 miles east of Orimattila in Finland and lasted for 25 minutes, covering 205 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 13 miles northwest of Gulbene in Latvia, descending from 39,037 feet to 35,368 feet in 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles.
The enroute climb resumed 4 miles southwest of Lubana in Latvia, climbing from 35,446 feet to 38,967 feet in 7 minutes, covering 60 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 7 miles southwest of Kraslava in Latvia and lasted for 42 minutes, covering 770 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it encountered various weather conditions and navigated through different altitudes. The enroute descent started 25 miles southeast of Balgarevo in Bulgaria, descending from 38,891 feet to 26,190 feet in 5 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 39 miles east of Ahtopol in Bulgaria and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute descent resumed 37 miles east of Ahtopol, descending from 26,100 feet to 5,270 feet in 9 minutes, covering 53 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 5 miles west of Arnavutköy in Turkey and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at LTFM İstanbul Airport began from the south, heading 359.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,368 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 422 meters and a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -155 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 844 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total flight distance was 1,450 nautical miles, taking approximately 138 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,115 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed on runway 35R at LTFM İstanbul Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,368 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the final approach was impressive, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 422 meters was also good, suggesting that the pilot had a good sense of spatial awareness and control over the aircraft.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown speed, which was recorded at 120 knots. This was considered a little fast, but it did not have a significant impact on the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of control over the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the pilot's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance of 844 meters was 21% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had a good sense of control over the aircraft and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of spatial awareness and control over the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-600 aircraft's landing on runway 35R at LTFM İstanbul Airport was a success, with a high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the final approach and landing phases.
