Hold the approach angle
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 2,741 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23R at UAAA Almaty International Airport. The Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,306 meters, which was 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 304 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Almaty International Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 38,586 feet above sea level. The climb was completed in 31 minutes, covering a distance of 251 nautical miles and an increase of 35,341 feet in altitude. The enroute level cruise started 66 miles southeast of The Hanger in China and lasted for 101 minutes, covering a distance of 1,509 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 28 miles west of Myanaung in Myanmar and lasted for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,795 feet to 859 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at VYPN Pathein Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 61.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 824 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 at Pathein Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 191 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 2-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,021 meters, which was 37% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,850 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 132 minutes. The aircraft used 9,729 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VYPN Pathein Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 61.0° at an altitude of 824 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway.
The touchdown point was located 109 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was a bit higher than the target speed, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast on touchdown. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 191°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,021 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop in a controlled manner. The slight deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed were minor and did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
