Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 280 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 218 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,211 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 483 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ100, then departed from runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,418 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 79 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from 1,083 feet above sea level to 28,287 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,204 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The enroute climb began 1 mile east of RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The aircraft then transitioned to an enroute level cruise, which started 85 miles north of Keelung, Taiwan, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 216 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles north of Yuyao, China, and the aircraft descended from 28,170 feet above sea level to 1,778 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,393 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18L at ZSSS Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport was made from the north, heading 193.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,764 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18L was successful, with a touchdown point 60 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -280 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 160 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,003 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 388 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used 3,001 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at ZSSS Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach to runway 18L was initiated from the north, with a heading of 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,764 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 60 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -280 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The runway length at ZSSS Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is 3,211 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop after touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,003 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.6%. The combination of favorable weather conditions, a smooth touchdown, and a short landing roll contributed to the success of the landing.
