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 1,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 276 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight was conducted on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft from SCIP Mataveri Airport in Isla De Pascua, Chile to NTMD Nuku Hiva Airport in French Polynesia. The taxi from the parking to the runway was brief, taking only 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm.
The departure roll was from runway 10 at SCIP Mataveri Airport, with the takeoff distance being 1,224m, covering 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots. The local weather at departure was 19 °C with a 6 knots wind coming from 99 ° providing a 5 knots headwind and 2 knots crosswind effect.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,305 feet asl to 39,350 feet asl over a span of 38 minutes covering 239 nm. The enroute level cruise phase started at Latitude: -25.8357016 and Longitude: -113.6143717, lasting 211 minutes and covering 1,703 nm.
The descent phase began 24 miles southeast of Atuona in French Polynesia, descending from 39,038 feet asl to 1,815 feet asl over 13 minutes and covering 119 nm. The landing took place on runway 06 at NTMD Nuku Hiva Airport, with a runway length of 1,683m. The height at threshold was 23 feet agl, and the speed at threshold was 133 knots. The touchdown point was 276m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a VSI of -220 ft/min.
The weather at the destination was 27 °C with a 5 knots wind coming from 50 °, resulting in a 4 knots headwind and 1 knot crosswind during landing. The total landing distance was 775m, covering 46% of the runway length.
After landing, the taxi from the runway to the parking area was quick, taking less than 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 2,066 nm, with a total flight time of 273 minutes and fuel usage of 13,592 kg.
Congratulations on achieving an outstanding aircraft landing score of 99.7%! Your performance during each phase of the landing process was truly impressive.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a high level of precision and skill in maintaining the correct descent path. Although your speed was slightly below target, this demonstrates a cautious and controlled approach to ensure a smooth landing.
Moving into the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good, allowing for a safe and timely initiation of the landing flare. The perfect execution of the landing flare further indicates your ability to smoothly transition from descent to touchdown, minimizing any potential impact forces.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was fair, suggesting a level of consistency in your landings. Your speed was on target, indicating a well-controlled approach to touch down precisely at the desired point. Additionally, the touchdown distance within the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 2.9 meters from the centerline showcase your ability to navigate and land accurately within restricted parameters.
As you entered the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, demonstrating a strong sense of spatial awareness and control in maintaining the aircraft's position on the runway. This attention to detail ensures a safe and efficient exit from the runway.
Overall, your exceptional performance in each phase of the landing process highlights your proficiency as a pilot. Keep up the great work and continue to prioritize precision and safety in your future flights. Well done on a job well executed!
