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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH), Scotland. The takeoff distance was 1,160 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 60°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of EGPH. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,140 feet above sea level to 32,927 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,787 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 3 miles west of Silloth, England, and lasted for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile southwest of Hinstock, England, and took 30 minutes to descend from 32,877 feet above sea level to 1,466 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,411 feet. The descent covered a distance of 129 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08R at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK) was made from the west, with a heading of 78.0° at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 08R was successful, with a touchdown point 93 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was -180 feet per minute, which was also good. 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 8°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 50°.
The total landing distance was 1,212 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 330 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 76 minutes. The aircraft used 3,562 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK) on runway 08R, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 78.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down 93 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 14 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 140 knots was also within the acceptable range.
The total landing distance of 1,212 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The high score of 99.2% reflects the excellent performance of the pilots and the aircraft during the landing.
