Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,727 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 196 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RKSS Gimpo International Airport took less than a minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 32R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 54 knots. The takeoff distance was 522 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 229 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
Following a brief enroute level cruise that lasted less than a minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft began its initial climb phase, ascending from 381 feet above sea level to 1,004 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This was followed by a second level cruise phase, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a second climb phase, ascending from 504 feet to 1,584 feet in 3 minutes, while covering 5 nautical miles. The climb rate was notable, with an increase of 1,080 feet in a relatively short period. The aircraft then began its descent phase, descending from 1,601 feet to 483 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 3 nautical miles.
Throughout the flight, the aircraft demonstrated a high degree of efficiency, covering a total distance of 17 nautical miles in 13 minutes, while consuming 10 kilograms of fuel. The flight profile was characterized by a series of short, efficient climbs and descents, which allowed the aircraft to maintain a relatively high altitude while minimizing fuel consumption. Overall, the flight was a testament to the capabilities of the Cessna Skyhawk, which is known for its agility and fuel efficiency.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or the prevailing wind conditions. The wind was blowing at 18 kt from a direction of 70°, resulting in a 2 kt crosswind and a 18 kt headwind, which may have contributed to the slightly higher than desired threshold speed.
The touchdown point was 131 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown speed of 120 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -411 fpm was hard, but not excessively so. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The total landing distance of 1,231 m was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout. Overall, the landing was scored 95.9%, indicating a high level of proficiency and a well-executed landing.
