Track the centreline 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.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,511 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,494 ft 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 19L at YBBN Brisbane International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,699 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Pinkenba, ascending from an altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level to 26,118 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,098 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 73 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase 6 miles north of Cootharaba, lasting 9 minutes and covering 71 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase 1 mile north of Apple Tree Creek, ascending from 26,731 feet above sea level to 30,688 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,958 feet, in 4 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 5 miles southwest of Rosedale, lasting 25 minutes and covering 187 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase 12 miles north of YHOY Hollins Bay Airport Yeppoon. The descent from 30,772 feet above sea level to 1,276 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,496 feet, took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 at YBMK Mackay Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 148.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 14 at YBMK Mackay Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 140 knots and a touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 1,460 feet, which was within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 76 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 3,751 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 449 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 100 minutes. The aircraft used 10,807 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at YBMK Mackay Airport, with a final approach from the north-west direction. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The heading of the aircraft during the final approach was 148.0 degrees, which indicates a slight deviation from the direct approach path.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 14 with a speed of 140 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed of 143 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,460 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 12 feet off the centreline. This may be due to a slight misalignment of the aircraft during the final approach or a slight drift during the landing roll. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 76 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions ideal. Overall, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and maintaining its direction during the landing roll.
