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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,639 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 488 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 11R at VVNB Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam. The takeoff distance was 1,781 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,056 feet above sea level to 35,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,954 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 154 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles west of ZGNN Nanning Wuxu Airport in Nanning, China, and lasted for 39 minutes, covering a distance of 351 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 6 miles south west of VMMC Macau International Airport in Guangdong, China, descending from 35,009 feet above sea level to 1,356 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,652 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07R at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport was made from the south west, heading 71.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 3,639 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 82 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -351 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,452 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 606 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used 3,858 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) on runway 07R, achieving a score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed smoothly on the runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown point was 82 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -351 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 8 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft's performance was not affected.
The total landing distance of 1,452 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land efficiently and maintain control throughout the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and stability during the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Hong Kong International Airport was successful, with a high score of 97.8%. The minor deviations from the target speed and touchdown point were not significant enough to impact the overall performance, and the aircraft demonstrated excellent control and stability throughout the landing.
