See Arrival Final 4
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,023 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 326 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at VTSP Phuket International Airport. The takeoff distance was 977 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 35°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 179°, with no crosswind or headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Phuket International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from 1,116 feet above sea level to 25,551 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,435 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 11 miles south east of Chai Buri, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 5 miles west of Tham Phannara, increasing its altitude from 25,915 feet to 34,819 feet, a rise of 8,904 feet in 5 minutes, covering 34 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 7 miles south of VTT3 Surat Thani Airstrip, with the aircraft descending from 34,883 feet to 17,044 feet, a decrease of 17,840 feet in 9 minutes, covering 61 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 28 miles north west of Ko Pha Ngan, lasting 34 minutes and covering 169 nautical miles. The enroute descent started again 25 miles west of Sattahip, with the aircraft descending from 16,701 feet to 1,629 feet, a decrease of 15,072 feet in 13 minutes, covering 56 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport was made from the south, heading 13.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,617 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 319 meters, a touchdown speed of 119 knots, and a touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 31°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 60°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 986 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 387 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,249 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport, with a final approach score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching runway 02L from the south, heading 13.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,617 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's control and navigation skills were evident in the precise approach, which ultimately led to a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 319 meters was also within the expected range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also satisfactory, and the rate of descent at -160 feet per minute was well within the acceptable limits.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was also 2 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot. The runway length of 4,023 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 986 meters, which was only 25% of the runway length.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained precise control and alignment throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had smoothly transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and controlled stop at the end of the runway. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe and successful landing.
