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.

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 1,817 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,817 m of the 1,991 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 395 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05 at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,761 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 299 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles east of RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level to 31,073 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,044 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of RJT2 Miho Airfield Shizuoka. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles south of Ishiki. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,094 feet above sea level to 1,467 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,627 feet.
The final approach to runway 15 at RJBD Nanki Shirahama Airport was made from the north-west, with a heading of 141.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,167 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 1,991 meters. The threshold height at 75 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 160 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 385 meters, but the touchdown speed of 155 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -548 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 170 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,734 meters, which accounted for 87% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 263 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 2,843 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at RJBD Nanki Shirahama Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 141.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,167 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 1,991 meters.
The threshold height at 75 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed of 160 knots was also above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling faster than necessary at the point of touchdown. However, the touchdown distance of 385 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 155 knots was faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -548 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a significant amount of deceleration upon touchdown, which could have put additional stress on the landing gear and other aircraft systems.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted off course slightly during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 170°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,734 meters was 87% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop effectively after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulties with directional control during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters, including a high threshold height, high threshold speed, fast touchdown speed, and hard touchdown rate. These deviations may indicate the need for additional training or adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing procedures.
