Be on speed by the gate
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,892 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 49 kt FAST on the reference speed of 142 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.9° off, against a 1° limit and speed 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 142 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 699 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from UKKK Ihor Sikorsky Kyiv International Airport (Zhuliany), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 26, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,603 meters, which equated to 76% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 159 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16°C, with a light wind of 2 knots at 40 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of Vyshneve, a town in the Kyiv Oblast of Ukraine. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,531 feet above sea level to 35,989 feet, an increase of 34,458 feet in just 23 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 175 minutes and covered 1,315 nautical miles. The cruise phase took the aircraft over the Ukrainian and Egyptian landscapes before it began its enroute descent, which started 19 miles northeast of Makadi Bay in Egypt. The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from 35,987 feet to 1,798 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, HEMA Marsa Alam International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 33 from the southeast, heading 333.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,538 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -181 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,591 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 9,383 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 231 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 33 at HEMA Marsa Alam International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 333.0° as it descended from 1,538 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a stable and consistent rate of descent, ultimately resulting in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good touchdown characteristics, with a speed of 127 knots and a rate of descent of -181 feet per minute. The touchdown point was located 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and a headwind of 13 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment along the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,107 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 94.7%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate, combined with the favorable weather conditions, resulted in a safe and controlled landing.
