Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,196 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,747 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 25L at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 3,153 feet, which was 31% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 116 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 87°F temperature and a 15-knot wind at 160°. The crosswind was 15 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and continued to an altitude of 30,863 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,832 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 19 miles south of Prey Veng, Cambodia, and lasted for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 246 nautical miles. The descent started 20 miles north of Klaeng, Thailand, and continued to an altitude of 1,770 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,437 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19R at Suvarnabhumi Airport was made from the north, heading 193.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,746 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19R was successful, with a touchdown point 301 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions during landing were 86°F temperature and a 10-knot wind at 190°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 2,939 feet, which was 24% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took another 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 398 nautical miles, taking a total of 109 minutes, and the aircraft used 676 pounds of fuel.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport, achieving an overall score of 81.8%. The final approach to runway 19R was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,746 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 301 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 66 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 86°F and a headwind of 10 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, which contributed to a stable and controlled approach. The runway length of 12,196 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 2,939 feet was 24% of the available runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the Vision Jet aircraft demonstrated a good landing performance, with some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown zone and centerline alignment.
