Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 141 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 139 kt against a VREF of 141 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 141 kt at the stabilisation gate.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 37 kt FAST on the reference speed of 141 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,621 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 603 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 20R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 158 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,498 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period.
As the aircraft climbed to 12,008 feet above sea level, it covered a distance of 30 nautical miles in 7 minutes, an increase of 10,967 feet from its initial altitude of 1,041 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent. The descent from 11,678 feet to 9,536 feet took 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 41 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, before starting its final descent.
The final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft heading 71.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 314 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,414 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 89 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,591 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, commenced its final approach to runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport from the south west, tracking a heading of 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 67 feet above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed was good, with a speed of 139 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 314 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute, indicating a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.9 meters, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown rate.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout was characterized by a slight misalignment from the centreline by 9.7 meters. The total landing distance was 1,414 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind of 9 knots at 100°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.0%.
