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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,499 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,499 ft of the 11,319 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,923 ft 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 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 05 at Newman Airport (YNWN). The takeoff distance was 5,398 feet, which was 80% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 90°F and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 134°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Newman Airport, rising from an altitude of 2,740 feet above sea level to 37,394 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,654 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 105 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Three Rivers Homestead Airport (YTHR) and lasted 51 minutes, covering 382 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 14 miles southwest of Wongan Hills and involved a decrease in altitude from 37,348 feet above sea level to 1,350 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,998 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 68 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at Perth International Airport (YPPH) was made from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 03, which had a length of 11,319 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 148 knots. However, the touchdown point was 566 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -280 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 60°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The total landing distance was 5,242 feet, which was 46% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 562 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 9,715 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at YPPH Perth International Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 11,319 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was above the target speed of 148 knots, indicating that the aircraft was slightly fast during the approach. The touchdown point was located 566 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 139 knots was also faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate of -280 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 16 feet, which may have been due to the crosswind and headwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 77°F and winds of 20 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was also 14 knots.
The total landing distance of 5,242 feet was 46% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 27 feet, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the target parameters.
