Keep the wings level 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.

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 2,750 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 482 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-900 then departed from runway 06 at YMHU McArthur River Mine Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,265 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots.
As the flight progressed, it entered a climb phase, starting 1 mile east of YMHU McArthur River Mine Airport. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,070 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 37,812 feet, an increase of 36,742 feet, in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 190 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this phase were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 342°.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 7 miles south of YMKA Mararanka Homestead Airport Katherine. This phase lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 999 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, starting 13 miles southwest of WAPU Kufar Airport Padasuka. The descent from 37,884 feet to 19,024 feet, a decrease of 18,860 feet, took only 4 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 10 miles east of WADL Lombok International Airport Mataram. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, starting 2 miles east of Praya. The descent from 17,199 feet to 1,579 feet, a decrease of 15,619 feet, took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at WADL Lombok International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 128.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,236 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 64 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 277°.
The total landing distance was 1,062 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,253 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 126 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,161 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at WADL Lombok International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 128.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with precision, with the threshold height being well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 64 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -67 feet per minute. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and minimizing the stress on the landing gear. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilots had carefully controlled the aircraft's descent to ensure a precise touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 277°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions would have presented a challenge for the pilots, but they were able to navigate the aircraft safely and smoothly.
The total landing distance of 1,062 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had carefully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the amount of runway required to bring the aircraft to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the skills and expertise of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the Boeing 737-900 aircraft. The precision and control demonstrated during the landing were exceptional, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop with minimal deviation from the designated touchdown zone.
