Slow the descent 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,826 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at PTRO Babelthuap Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,127 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 67 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of PTRO Babelthuap Airport, on Babelthuap Island in the State of Airai, Palau. The climb started from an altitude of 1,002 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 26,343 feet, an increase of 25,341 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location defined by latitude 8.3713097 and longitude 136.2387268. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started at a location defined by latitude 8.5351848 and longitude 136.5041138. The descent phase involved a decrease in altitude from 26,982 feet to 1,524 feet, a total decrease of 25,458 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at PTYA Yap International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 73.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,432 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 07, which had a length of 1,826 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance was 395 meters, which was also considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,226 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 244 nautical miles, which was covered in 47 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,608 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at PTYA Yap International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 07 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 73.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,432 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 140 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 395 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The touchdown speed of 130 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. However, it is worth noting that a touchdown rate of -223 fpm is slightly higher than the ideal rate, which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than intended. Nevertheless, the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, and the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's approach and landing with ease.
The total landing distance of 1,226 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in managing the aircraft's approach and landing.
