Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,032 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,032 m of the 2,994 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at RJGG Chubu Centrair International Airport, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with a takeoff distance of 1,582 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 168 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of RJGG Chubu Centrair International Airport. The climb took 15 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 314 meters above sea level to 8,223 meters above sea level, an increase of 7,909 meters. The aircraft covered a distance of 82 nautical miles during this climb.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 10 miles east of Oyama, Shizuoka, Japan. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles northeast of Shimoda, Shizuoka, Japan. The descent took 12 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 8,228 meters above sea level to 1,252 meters above sea level, a decrease of 6,975.7 meters. The aircraft covered a distance of 61 nautical miles during this descent.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 2 miles southeast of RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,301 meters above sea level to 1,611 meters above sea level, an increase of 310.1 meters. The aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles during this climb.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles north of Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 1,584 meters above sea level to 1,218 meters above sea level, a decrease of 365.8 meters. The aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles during this descent.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 4 miles northwest of RJTK JGSDF Kisarazu Airfield. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,242 meters above sea level to 1,413 meters above sea level, an increase of 170.7 meters. The aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles during this climb.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, approaching from the southeast. The aircraft was at an altitude of 423 meters above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 34L, which is 2,994 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 155 knots. The touchdown point was 51 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 151 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -0.1 meters per second.
The total landing distance was 1,950 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 208 nautical miles, and the flight took 55 minutes. The aircraft used 2,463
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Tokyo Haneda International Airport's runway 34L, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 327.0° at an altitude of 423.0 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 51 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 151 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -0.1 meters per second was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also well above the target at 155 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone. Nevertheless, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, considering the aircraft's speed and rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. However, the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent to achieve a smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,950 meters was 65% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention from the pilots to improve their alignment skills.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Tokyo Haneda International Airport's runway 34L was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management of its speed and descent. However, there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown point accuracy.
