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 3,201 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 728 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 02 at RPLC Clark International Airport / Clark Air Base, where the Airbus A320 took off after covering 70% of the 2,231-meter runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, marking the start of its journey.
As the plane climbed, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Mabalacat City in Central Luzon, Philippines. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,473 feet above sea level to 2,415 feet, a vertical increase of 941 feet, within a minute. This climb phase covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered its level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles east of Mabalacat City and marked a period of steady flight at a consistent altitude.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 02 at RPLC Clark International Airport / Clark Air Base. The approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 24.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 981 feet above ground level, 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was executed on runway 02, which had a length of 3,201 meters. The threshold height at 78 feet above ground level was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing. The threshold speed was also good, at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also good, at -184 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the intended path. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius.
The flight came to an end with a total distance of 19 nautical miles, which was covered in 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 288 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at RPLC Clark International Airport / Clark Air Base, achieving an overall score of 82.2%. The final approach to runway 02 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 24.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 981 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 78 feet agl, which was well above the target. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude during the approach. The threshold speed was also good, at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown rate was also good, at -184 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. This could be due to various factors, such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the intended path. However, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were able to compensate for these deviations, resulting in a safe and successful landing.
