Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 7.3 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.3° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,552 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,552 m of the 1,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 210 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,700 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 199 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles southeast of RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,032 feet above sea level to 14,529 feet above sea level in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles northeast of Tateyama, Japan, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles east of RJTQ Miyakejima Airport, descending from 15,449 feet above sea level to 1,563 feet above sea level in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at RJTH Hachijojima Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 249.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at an altitude of 844 feet above ground level. The aircraft eventually landed on runway 26, with a touchdown distance of 210 meters and a touchdown speed of 157 knots, which was faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -864 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 22.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and winds of 3 knots at 233 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,477 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 22.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 149 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes. The aircraft used 1,765 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at RJTH Hachijojima Airport, but with some notable issues. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 249.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 1,986 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was significantly above the target at 161 knots. This may indicate that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing, or that the pilots may have been experiencing difficulties with the approach. The touchdown distance was good at 210 meters, but the touchdown speed of 157 knots was faster than desired. This could have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -864 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered very heavy.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 22.5 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging for the pilots. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 233°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the misaligned touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,477 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but the misaligned touchdown and rollout may have made the landing more difficult for the pilots. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 22.5 meters from the centerline, which could have made it challenging for the pilots to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the aircraft landed safely, there were several issues with the landing that need to be addressed. The pilots may need to review their approach and landing procedures to ensure that they are properly configured for landing, and that they are able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
