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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,160 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36 at YPXM Christmas Island Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,442 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 329 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Flying Fish Cove in the Territory of Christmas Island, Christmas Island. The climb took 37 minutes and covered 271 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,735 feet above sea level to 35,394 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,659 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 136 minutes and covered 1,078 nautical miles. The cruise phase began at a latitude of -14.2071822 and a longitude of 108.2486206. After the cruise phase, the aircraft started its enroute descent, beginning 6 miles southwest of AU18 Moora Arkaroola Village in the State of Western Australia, Australia. The descent took 21 minutes and covered 73 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,007 feet above sea level to 1,341 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,666 feet.
The final approach to runway 06 at YPPH Perth International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 344 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -275 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,093 meters, and the aircraft used 9,445 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight. The total flight distance was 1,429 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 204 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at YPPH Perth International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 139 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 344 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -275 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft is properly positioned for rollout and reduces the risk of veering off the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft was able to handle them successfully.
The total landing distance of 1,093 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in terms of speed, distance, and alignment.
