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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,811 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,811 m of the 2,600 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 702 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36R at ROAH Naha Airport / JASDF Naha Air Base. The takeoff distance was 1,375 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 23°C and wind speeds of 4 knots at 289°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile north of ROAH Naha Airport / JASDF Naha Air Base, where the aircraft climbed from 1,041 feet above sea level to 34,805 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,764 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 41 miles southwest of ROKR Kerama Airport Zamami and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 213 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 34 miles north of Yonakuni, where it descended from 34,887 feet above sea level to 4,280 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,606 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 6 miles north of Jiufen, lasting for 3 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 3 miles southwest of Jiufen, where it descended from 4,011 feet above sea level to 1,493 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,518 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at RCSS Taipei Songshan Airport was from the east, with a heading of 265.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,467 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28 was successful, with the touchdown point being 281 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25°C and wind speeds of 10 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,725 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 407 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 83 minutes. The aircraft used 3,829 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at RCSS Taipei Songshan Airport, achieving a high score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,467 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 281 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -117 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-managed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 139 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,725 meters was 66% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe braking and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management throughout the approach and landing phases.
