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 3,399 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 09 at VTSP Phuket International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,277 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of VTSP Phuket International Airport, and climbed from 1,049 feet above sea level to 36,911 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,863 feet, in 30 minutes and covering 177 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 27 miles east of VTSE Chumphon Airport, and lasted for 161 minutes, covering 988 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 55 miles south of ZGSD Zhuhai Jinwan Airport, and descended from 37,260 feet above sea level to 1,319 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,940 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 5 miles northwest of Zhuhai, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final climb, starting 11 miles southwest of ZXIB Xin'an Airport, and climbed from 1,121 feet above sea level to 1,454 feet above sea level, an increase of 333 feet, in 4 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at ZGSZ Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 333.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,431 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 26 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 964 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was 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 1,272 nautical miles, taking 184 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,299 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at ZGSZ Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, heading 333.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,431 feet above ground level.
The pilot's final approach to runway 33 was executed with precision, achieving a score of 98.8%. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 128 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and avoided any hard landings. However, the touchdown point was 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection by the pilot.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 26°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 964 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and proficiency in handling the Boeing 737-900 aircraft.
