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 1,833 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 314 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20 at Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (LFKJ). The takeoff distance was 983 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 359°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and ascending from 1,000 feet above sea level to 35,101 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,101 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 55 miles east of La Caletta in Sardegna, Italy. This phase of the flight lasted 53 minutes and covered a distance of 412 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of the Ionian Sea Moving Carrier - CVN78 in the Ionian Islands, Greece. The descent was from 35,269 feet above sea level to 1,479 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,791 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at Zakynthos International Airport Dionysios Solomos (LGZA) was made from the south, heading 346.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,458 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 313 meters and a touchdown speed of 126 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -164 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 71°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,097 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 622 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 102 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,630 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LGZA Zakynthos International Airport Dionysios Solomos, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 34 was executed from the south, with the aircraft heading 346.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,458 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was characterized by a high score of 99.8%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 126 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 134 knots. However, this was not a cause for concern, as the touchdown speed was still within a safe range. The touchdown distance of 313 meters was also considered good, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient control and stability during the landing process.
The touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating that the aircraft had a smooth and controlled descent. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 71°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing process.
The total landing distance of 1,097 meters was 60% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient control and stability during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline throughout the entire landing process. Overall, this landing was a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
