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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 531 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 34R at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,621 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 241 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was no headwind. After departing from Tokyo Haneda International Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 35,605 feet above sea level. The climb covered a distance of 128 nautical miles and took 16 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 34,536 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 618 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 46 miles southwest of RJAZ Kozushima Airport. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles northeast of RJKB Okinoerabu Airport. The descent covered a distance of 102 nautical miles and took 16 minutes, with a decrease in altitude of 34,921 feet.
The final approach to landing was made at Naha Airport / JASDF Naha Air Base. The aircraft descended from 1,236 feet above ground level to 1,236 feet above ground level, a decrease of 43 feet in 7 seconds. The touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -198 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
After touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, which covered a distance of 1,258 meters and ended at an altitude of 19 feet above sea level. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 858 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 7,281 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Naha Airport / JASDF Naha Air Base with a score of 77.0%. The final approach to landing began at an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the airport. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, reducing its altitude from 43 feet agl to 0 feet agl in just 7 seconds.
Upon approaching the touchdown point, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 146 knots, which was slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 124 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the aircraft's slightly high touchdown speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's landing performance. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing rollout was successful, with the aircraft maintaining an altitude of 19 feet above sea level (asl) and covering a distance of 1,258 meters.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft demonstrated a good level of control and precision, particularly in terms of its descent rate and touchdown point. However, the slightly high touchdown speed and deviation from the touchdown zone may indicate areas for improvement in the aircraft's landing performance.
