Monitor your 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.

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 1,634 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,634 m of the 3,644 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 303 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07R at OPKC Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan. The takeoff distance was 1,330 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead OPKC Jinnah International Airport and ascending from 1,094 feet above sea level to 36,552 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,458 feet in 28 minutes and covering a distance of 205 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 7 miles southwest of Khanpur Mahar in Sindh, Pakistan, and lasting for 60 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 481 nautical miles. The cruise was followed by a descent, which began 32 miles northeast of Battagram in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan. The aircraft descended from 37,165 feet above sea level to 21,707 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,458 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 22 miles southeast of OPGT Gilgit Airport in Gilgit, Pakistan, and lasting for 2 minutes. This was followed by another descent, which began 33 miles southeast of OPGT Gilgit Airport. The aircraft descended from 21,085 feet above sea level to 8,946 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,139 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at OPSD Skardu Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 143.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,617 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 14, which had a length of 3,644 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 161 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 303 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 157 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -381 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,565 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 806 nautical miles and took 121 minutes to complete, using 5,377 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Skardu Airport, OPSD, with a score of 96.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 143.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,617 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 14, which has a length of 3,644 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 161 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the final approach.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 303 meters. However, the touchdown speed was reported as fast, at 157 knots. This may have resulted in a firm touchdown rate, which was measured at -381 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were quite challenging, with a temperature of -28°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the aircraft's fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 1,565 meters, which is approximately 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the final approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft scoring 96.0%. However, the fast touchdown speed and firm touchdown rate may be areas for improvement in future landings.
