Flight Score
Arrival
Be established on the glideslope before the gate, with small corrections made early rather than a large one late.
What happened: The approach was off the glideslope at the stabilisation gate.
Watch for: Glideslope indication at the gate
See Arrival Approach
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 approach before the go-around was abandoned. Its marks are shown, but only the approach that landed counts.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.0° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 13° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,102 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 20 at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 20 with a takeoff roll of 994 m, which is 36 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 121 kt. Local weather was 27 °C, wind 2 kt from 230°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 2 413 fpm and reaching 180 kt at the top of the segment.
Climb continued from 5 304 ft asl to 26 980 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 101 nm while remaining overhead VNKT.
Level flight was held at 27 000 ft asl for 8 minutes, covering 75 nm, beginning 12 mi north of Bhojpur.
Descent from 26 682 ft asl to 8 442 ft asl took 14 minutes and covered 74 nm, starting 3 mi north of Namchi, with a brief level-off at 15 000 ft asl.
On final approach to runway 15 at VQPR Paro International Airport, descent from 2 249 ft agl to 46 ft agl was completed in 52 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were: gear down, landing flap, wings level - met; sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed - not met. Configuration was landing gear down at 1 867 ft agl, 231 kt; final flap position 8 at 2 830 ft agl, 177 kt.
A go-around was executed on runway 15 at 28 ft agl.
A second final approach to runway 15 descended from 1 057 ft agl to 51 ft agl in 48 seconds. At 500 ft the stabilisation checks were: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, speed - met; glideslope, centreline, wings level - not met. Configuration remained gear down at 1 867 ft agl, 231 kt; flap 8 at 2 830 ft agl, 177 kt.
Landing on runway 15 was completed with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly above target at 127 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 382 m down the runway at 119 kt, with a fair rate of minus 280 fpm and very good runway alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 896 m, 43 % of the 2 102 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, with a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind.
The entire flight covered 268 nm in 47 minutes and used 2 818 kg of fuel.
