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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,497 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 04 at ROIG Ishigaki Airport in Ishigaki, Okinawa, Japan. The takeoff distance was 916 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of ROIG Ishigaki Airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,075 feet above sea level to 39,023 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,948 feet in 34 minutes, covering a distance of 250 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 41 miles north of RODE Iejima Auxiliary Air Base Ie in Okinawa, Japan, and lasted for 112 minutes, covering a distance of 1,030 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles east of Namioka in Aomori-ken, Japan, and descending from an altitude of 38,362 feet above sea level to 2,557 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,805 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 232 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles south of Motomachi in Hokkaido, Japan, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36 at RJCM Memanbetsu Airport was made from the south, heading 357.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,307 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36 at RJCM Memanbetsu Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,497 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 126 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 329 meters, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -203 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 characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at a direction of 360 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 787 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 1,530 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 168 minutes. The aircraft used 8,650 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at RJCM Memanbetsu Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 357.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach was marked by a high score of 99.0%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure. The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 329 meters was also within the expected parameters, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
The landing was further characterized by a touchdown speed of 121 knots, which was slightly lower than the threshold speed but still within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made some adjustments to achieve a smoother touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing procedure.
The total landing distance of 787 meters was 32% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-600 at RJCM Memanbetsu Airport was a successful and well-executed procedure, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
